Priceless Conerly Bible Record Found: The following Bible Record, of inestimable importance to the numerous descendants of Cullen Conerly, recently came to light when a neighbor of Mrs. W. K. Conerly of Leesville found it among a batch of miscellaneous papers which had belonged to an aunt of hers and turned it over to Mrs. Conerly. As will appear, included in the record left by Rev. Luke Conerly is information copied by Luke from the Bible of his parents Cullen and Lettitia Conerly of Duplin Co. NC, which was thought to have disappeared without a trace many years ago. The Conerly family was the subject of a splendid book compiled by Wm. A. & Irma Lampton, published a year ago after ten years of intensive research.

The first Methodist services at Holly Grove may have been conducted by Rev. Henry Stephenson. He held services in the local schoolhouse in 1826. In 1837, Rev. Luke Conerly and J.W. Franklin bought 40 acres of land and patented it to the Holly Grove Church.
