Dripping Springs Baptist Church

Formerly of Barren County, now in Metcalfe County KY

Slaves who were members of a white church

1798 - 1852

 

Note: During this time period, the church would have been in Barren Co but after Metcalfe County was created in 1860, it automatically was in

Metcalfe Co. This is the 2nd oldest church in the area. Thus there will Barren Co names which now appear in Metcalfe Co. Source: Barren’s Black Roots, Volume 4, Michelle Gorin Burris,  Gorin Genealogical Publications,(c) Feb 1995. By permission.
