One Hundred Year Old Friendship Quilt
JCGS member, Fern Parris Hensley, recently came in contact with a Friendship Quilt that was completed in 1916. She patiently researched all of the names that were represented on the quilt. She has succeeded in finding all but two of the women. She has complied a book about the quilt and the women involved in its construction. The book is in our library in the office. She was helped by several people in compiling the information about the church, quilt and the people involved.

John Stuart Mill’s projected science of society: 1827-1848
No full textThe purpose of the thesis is to examine John Stuart Mill’s political thought from
about 1827 to 1848 as an exercise in intellectual history. It focuses, first, on Mill’s view,
formulated by the late 1830s, that contemporary society was ‘civilized’, and second, on
his project of a science of society, which he aspired to develop in the late 1830s and
early 1840s.
By the late 1830s, Mill came to the view that his contemporary society was a
‘commercial society or civilization’, dominated by the middle, commercial class. The
first part of my thesis, constituted by Chapters 2-4, discusses the way in which Mill
formed his notion of civilization, and what he meant by the term ‘civilization’. Mill paid
attention to the implications of the rise of the middle class, and regarded such
phenomena of contemporary society as the corruption of the commercial spirit and
excessive social conformity as an inevitable consequence of the rise of the middle class.
The second part of the thesis, constituted by Chapters 5-9, examines Mill’s
projected science of society. In the late 1830s and early 1840s, Mill attempted to
develop a new science of society whose subject-matter was the nature and prospects of
commercial, civilized society. This aspiration culminated in A System of Logic,
published in 1843. In examining Mill’s projected science, I pay particular attention to
the fact that he conceived new sciences of history and of the formation of character,
both of which were indispensable in his project, although he failed to give a complete
account of these sciences. My thesis shows that the implications of his interest both in
history and in the formation of character are more significant than Mill scholars have
assumed

" History of The Baptist Church"
Mr Lee Delves Into Records of Local Baptist Church and Finds Many Things of Interest
(Published in The Franklin Press, May 2, 1929)
The church some time ago made request that its ancient minutes be found and brought to light No one
could give an information concerning them. Now, however, Bro. Johnny Rogers comes and brings the old church
book which was begun in 1822. It was found at the Roger's home, having been left there by a former clerk of the
church, Bro. Allman.
The minutes recite how the church was constituted in the Cherokee Purchase, Haywood county, NC, on the
7th day of May, 1822. The presbytery consisted of Elders, Stephen White and Adam Corne. Twenty members
came from different churches to form the body.
The following are the members who entered the constitution: Thomas Kimsey, deacon; Zachariah Peek,
Green H Freeman, John D Moore, Benjamin Stiles, John Stuart, and James Bryson.
The female members were as follows:
Nancy Kimsey, Sarah Peak, Nancy Freeman, Milley Moore, Nancy Hall, Charity Stiles, Mary Davis, Rachel
M McConnell, Mary Ann Stewart, Ann Bryson, Elizabeth Brison, Catherine Shields and Elizabeth Redmond.
Thomas Kimsey, having formerly been a deacon of Crabtree church, was admitted as a deacon. James
Brison was examined and ordained as a deacon, May 7, 1822.
After being consulted in May 1822 the church met at Cowee, Sugarfork, and Franklin indiscriminately
during the first several months of the life of the body. Bro. Benjamin Stiles was appointed the first clerk at the
organization. Elder, Humphrey Posey became pastor of the church in July, 1822.
In 1822 the church was united with the French Broad Association, sending Bro. Posey as messenger to that
body. The church was still meeting alternately at Sugarfork and at Coweta before locating definately at Franklin.
The church continued to meet at Sugarfork and Coweta until June 1823 when they agreed to meet at Franklin, and
decide definitely the place for the church to be located. July 13, 1823, it was decided to make Franklin the
permanent place of meeting for the body. The first communion was celebrated at Franklin Aug. 18,1823.
The meetings at Coweta were discontinued, but the church met occasionally afterward at Sugarfork.
A new meeting house was built at Franklin in 1823.
It is said that the first building erected for the Franklin Baptist church about the year 1823 was located near
the mouth of the Cullasaja river near Franklin. It is certain that this church from 1822 onwards became the mother of
several other organizations in the county or section. It was in 1824 and 1825 that many members were received at a
branch arm of the church located at Dillard's school house, most likely near the town of Dillard. In 1827 this arm of
the church became an independent body.
James Whittaker was a competent clerk of the Franklin church over one hundred years ago. He kept neat
records. His records show that Cowee church was organized in 1828 after exisiting as an arm of the Franklin body
for some time.
The Franklin church contemplated the erection of a new building in the year 1828, but it was decided to
wait until the grant of land should be secured from the state, which was done in 1829. The records show that the
grant called for three acres and 22 poles and cost 11.15. This is the land on which the present pastorium is located.
Coweta church was organized out of the membership of Franklin in the year 1831.
Close contact was maintained with the pioneer work at Valley Towns among the Cherokee Indians. Rev
James Kimsey was ordained to the ministry at Franklin, about this time. He was afterwards pastor of franklin.
It was in 1834 that the church first considered the matter of organizing a Sunday School. Rev Humphrey
Posey was pastor at the time. He and others cordially recommended to the church the project of organizing a Sunday
School, commenting on the advantages of such an organization. A conference of ministers and laymen was held at
Franklin in 1835. It was about this time that a portion of the members resided at Cartoogechaye. The Franklin
church permitted them to form a body of their own. A manual labor school was contemplated in 1836. This indicates
that there was an appreciation of culture among the early members. Rev H Posey was pastor from 1823 to 1835,
when he moved his residence to other parts. He preached extensively all over the mountain districts, going as far as
K J
Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Volume 1
Anderson, SC on his preaching tours. His evangelistic labors were highly appreciated by the South Carolina
brethren, as is indicated by references to his work by the writer near Walhalla.
He was an enlightened and liberal man of God. He made some enemies but his integrity was unimpeached.
He was held in high regard by his Georgia brethren and frequently preached from the same pulpits as Jesse
Mercer and others of his type.
Rev Joshua Ammons was ordained by the Franklin church to the gospel ministry. It was he that is said to
have taught an Indian how to keep the Sabbath by boring seven holes in a log, and instructing the Indian to put a peg
in a hole every day for six days, and when his six pegs gave out, the vacant hole represented the Sabbath day. It was
to be kept holy and no work was to be done.
A small pox scare came to Franklin in the year 1836. This was the year in which Sugarfork church was
established, having been formerly a branch of the Franklin church. Burningtown church was organized in 1829. It
also had been an arm.
There were only 51 members at Franklin in 1840. This number dropped to 43 the next year. However,
many members went out to form the above named new churches. Wautauga was also organized out of the Franklin
church. J D Franks joined at Wautauga when it was an arm of the Franklin church in 1842.
It was in this year that the church made a great effort to encourage the reading of the bible among her
members. The old school house was sold to raise funds for the new Female Academy.
In 1847 Holly Springs was a branch of the Franklin church.
Rev Joshua Ammons followed H Posey as pastor at Franklin. He was in rum succeeded by E Hiden. Seven
black members were in the Franklin body in 1855. The black membership was never very large.
Minutes of the church were kept on scraps of paper in 1854 and 55 and they were consequently lost and not
recorded in the church book. Scraps of paper are usually lost. The church records should be kept up to date and
plainly written in the book.
Rev J R Ammons was ordained to the ministry in 1861. He assisted his father at times. Joshua Ammons
continued to pastor until about the time of the Civil War. M Rickman and E D Brendle followed him. The building
at Franklin was burned about the time of the Civil War and the body worshiped at Holly Springs for some time,
returning to Franklin when the new church was built about 1879. Rev J S Woodard was pastor about 1871. M
Rickman ws pastor in 1873.
Francis Elmore was an aged and much respected member at Franklin. He died in 1874, aged 84 , J
years. ^~^
A more detailed mention may be given to the members of the church for the past one hundred and seven years at a
later time. Many of the prominent families of the county have been connected with the body during the last century.
"More History Of Macon Churches"
"Names of Pioneers Who Settled in Various Valleys"
(Published in The Franklin Press, 23 May 1929)
Rev Stephen White was in the first presbytery which led in the formation of the church. Little is known about him.
He was a member of the Stekoe church, Rabun county, Ga. He wrote the circular letter of Tugalo association in
1820. Only men of ability, discernment and degree of literary expression were selected to write these circular letters
to the churches. In this letter he deplored the destitution existing in the mountain sections. He noted the scarcity of
ministers in the territory. North Georgia had only begun to be settled in 1818. Stekoe church was one of the first in
the region. Stephen White was an early minister and missionary, who looked across the border into North Carolina
and saw the destitution there. He urged his Georgia ministerial brethren to visit the destitute sections to the north, He
also sent out notice to ministers of other associations to look over the fields at the white harvests in the mountains.
One writer says of him: "He was evidently a public spirited zealous and far-seeing man." He led in the misssionary
development of the Little Tennessee Valley. He saw by faith in this little valley a score or more Baptist churches a
century from his time. He envisioned a wealthy paradise of agricultural and pastoral beauty among the hills. He saw
the site of the future county seat of Macon county. He and Rev Corn doubtless consulted and gathered a little band
of believers at Franklin to form a mother church of the present thirty-two Baptist churches in Macon county. It was a
wise step. This missionary vision was given him by God, and he was led in the enterprise by the Holy Ghost.
How much has come from his vision! Baptists have established churches in every valley and on many
hillsides.
Stephen White led the founding of the Franklin Baptist church. Out of this church have come Sugarfork,
Cowee, Coweta, Holly Springs, Cartoogechaye, Wautauga and many others. Franklin is a mother and a grandmother
of churches. She led in the foundation of Dillard's church paying back Georgia for leading in the formation of the
Franklin church.

Missions have no state bounds. Georgia Baptists saw a need of a church at Dillard's and established it.
The Franklin Baptist church is now one hundred seven years old. From a little band of twenty in 1822 she
has sent out material to form 31 other churches, and now has over four hundred members. Do missions pay? Does it
pay to have a missionary vision? Does it pay to work for Jesus.
Let us thank God that Stephen White and others loked (sic) across the state line and saw the early
destitution in these parts.
Members 100 years ago. (1829.)
A neat record of the members is given in the church book as follows:

Nathaniel Hogan, James Robertsin, Susannah Moore, Mabel Hogan, Martha Scroggins and they were
dismissed by letter from Franklin.
James Kimsey reported the organization of the church on Sugarfork in December 1836. The following
joined that organization: William Brison, George Loudermilk, James Brison, William ??(illegible), ??
(illegible) Moore, William Arnold, Jess Kirby, James D Franks, John Loudermilk, Zacharia Peak, Ephriam

Mull, Rachael Kerby, Naomi Kirby, Margaret Brison, Cincy Davis, Sarah Loudermilk, Sarah Peak,
Elizabeth Arnold, Susannah Ballard, Mary Ledford, and all above were dismissed from Franklin Baptist to form
the Sugarfork church.
The U D C of the county are nobly endeavoring to secure authenle (sic) information for the celebration of
the centennial. The above is authenicated by written manuscript and is valuable in locating families in the county as
they were distributed from 75 to 100 years ago.
" Story of Early Baptist Doings"
(By Walter M Lee)
(Published in The Franklin Press, January 9, 1930)
Quite a number of the members of the Franklin church resided down the Tennessee river in 1830. They had
their worship at intervals at Fruit's school house. The location of this school is not known by the writer. They desired
a new organization at Fruit's school in December, 1830. Humphrey Posey was still pastor at Franklin in 1830 and
Stephen White was a minister holding membership in the church. Thomas Kimsey, John Ammons, and Thomas
McClure were deacons. The total membership was 99 in 1830
Coweta church was now about to be formed in 1831. They petitioned the Franklin church to give them
permission. There had been an arm of the church there for years.
The head of Tennessee was aided in forming of a church by the Franklin church. This church was down
toward Clayton.
Jesse R Siler had furnished the Franklin church for years with wine with which to celebrate the
communion. The church gave him public thanks.

Journeys Through Jackson 2018 Volume 1
Coweta church was formed in June or July 1831, the following members taking letters for that purpose:
Benjamin Stiles, Lewis Fore, Jeremiah Singleton, Elijah Standridge, Charity Stiles, Eli Singleton, Martha
Fore, Elizabeth Rogers, Mary Kelly, Martha Rodgers, Mary Wilkins, Charity Jones, and Hannah
Fortenburg.
The Franklin church was still holding occasional call meetings on Sugar Fork in 1831. A certain Mr Francis
was teaching in Franklin in 1831. His school boys were in the habit of playing "Fives" against one end of the church
house. This was taken up in conference and disallowed. Prosecution was threatened if it continued. Now who knows
what "Fives" is or are? James Angel joined the church in the year by experience. William Bryson also joined by
experience.
Joshua Ammons and James Kimsey were now licentiates of the church, and were going to and from
among the hills to preach the gospel in dark settlements. Their labors were extensive and their fruits numerous.
Many churches sprang up, and the Franklin church was busy granting letters for new constitutions during the next
two decades. The Morgans, the Barnes, and the Hughes came into the church.
The Franklin church aided the Valley Towns Indians in organizing a church in the spring of 1833. Rev
Jones was missionary at that place. The Franklin brethren aided the church in settling a difficulty. James Kimsey
was set apart for ordination at the request of the Simpson's Creek in Georgia. Catherine Poteat and Mary Avaline
Peek were received in 1833. Elizabeth Poteat also came into the churhc.
Among the membership at this time were the Peeks, the Angels, the Elmores, the Sanders, the Brysons,
the Crawfords, the Ledfords, the McConnells, the Clores, the Phillips and many other families.
The matter of Sunday schools was commended to the church in 1834.
Elder Posey and James Whitaker both spoke of the propriety and usefulness of the Sunday school. These
were good leaders. The Franklin church was progressive in its idea
