  • Notes 
    • Elder Wm. McCown, c1816-aft1880, was a Primitive and Old Reg. Baptist minister with service in many churches in Pike & Floyd Co., from the late 1830’s to at least 1881. He was the elected Moderator of the Long Fork Old Reg. Baptist Church [Long Fork, Pike Co., KY] when it was formed in 1877, as an arm of 8 original members out of the Mt. Zion Church near Craynor in Floyd Co. [copy of original records]

      There was shortly a dispute over doctrine and Elder Wm. McCown, and his wife, Jemima Osborne, left Long Fork and moved back over to Floyd Co. where they are found on the 1880 Floyd Co. Elder McCown is recorded in the 1878, 1879 & 1880 Old Reg. Baptist Minutes as being associated with the Antioch Church, also in The New Salem Assn.
