Submitted by Marlene

We a Church of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ called Freedom met at Isaac Surbers on the 14 day of March AD 1841 and after prayer to the great Head of the Church we gave ourselves to each other in Christian fellowship in order to keep The Gospel Ordinances delivered  once to the Saints

NOTE: Those people with stars by their names are direct ancestors.  Since there were no dates, there could have been more.  I am related to the Higgins family too.  I have no clue as to what the (u) meant by some names.

Would love more history about this church, and why they began it.  Had family living on old Tank Pond road in late 1800's. Went down there but thought we might be shot by someone as it looked like we were going onto someone's property, so we turned around and left. My family are the Baughs, Bryants, Surbers, Cline/Klines, Youngs and Aldridges. Marlene

If anyone has more information or pictures of this church they would like to share, please [an error occurred while processing this directive] or Marlene. Was this an off shoot of another church or a "break away" from another church?

Note:  Items in parentheses were added by someone later : Including this Church of Christ, Freedom  met at Isaac Surbers 14 Day March 1841
