Brush Creek

Primitive Baptist


I recieved through inter-library loan the microfilm from the TN State Archives of the Brush Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Smith County, TN. It is VERY difficult to read, however, there is a list from the early to middle 1800s of members and what happened to them.

This page created for the Smith Co Website.
Any comments questions should be sent to Marie-Paulette
