Collection Overview

Biography / History
The Predestinarian Baptist Church, of Lyon County, Ky. was located near the Dry Fork of the Eddy Creek.
Scope and Content
These records are on the same reel of microfilm as the diary of Thomas B. Jones. These are the records, on microfilm, of the Predestinarian Baptist Church. The records are mainly composed of minutes, but there are lists at the end of male members, female members, black members "called by their masters' names," and other black members. These lists seem to date from about 1858, and some names have notes on death dates and/or standing within the church.
