We have several Amos Gaither's but most of them lived in Tennessee or Maryland, I do notice that an Amos Gaither was witness to the will of BASIL GAITHR, the son of Benjamin II, While at the library this afternaon we Picked up a few notes that might be of interest to you. In the book, "Kentucky Pioneer and Court Records", by McAdams, I found the ‘Yo following marriage in Lincoln County, Kentucky - HUGH SWANN & ELIZABETH FELAND, Tt cf November 29, 1798, 4 In the book, "Kentucky Pensioners of the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 & indian Wars", were the following: 1, NANCY B, MQWBIACE, aged 8) in 1840, living in McCracken County, Kentucky, /¥3; 2» ELIAS LOVELACE, Private North Caroling Line, was 79 years old on March 4, 1831, 7 and living in McCracken County, Kentucky, - D6 oe Jefferson County, Kentucky marriages list several marriages for members of the SWANN & SMOOT family, I copied al) of them for you, Jefferson County is where Louisville is located, 1, EUPHEMIA SWAN & ROBERT L, WINTERSMITH, David C, Swann - her father, Aug, 14, 1838, 2, JAMES SWANN & AMELIA HOLMAN, daughter of Corne « 23, 1837, 13, JANE SWANN & SIMON BUCHANAN, daughter of P March 15, 1833, wy ILIY » |4.

I might add that the Shively and Speed families are two of the first and most prominent here in Jefferson County, The town of Shively, Kentucky is named for the first, We have several museums and #+iHt libraries, schools, etc, named for the SPESD family, My great grandfather, WILEY GAITHER served under JAMES B, SPEED who was considered one of the most sucessful men to live in this county, It is for him that al) those buildings are named, ead Cou ei - ; arllee? f ote fs Pitre cence = “Pras teed Sata oe : - ee Aa sidbicoke OD fo é 7 sd x | (Set articd, OF yt. 6 MES, Hager ©. abi tes sack.

It also seems that in the body of the letter the poribe wrote: “in witness whereof Lt gaid bs we to this my last will and Testament etc. ef! named a son, JAMES GATTHER. ; Then ‘he appointed. hi : "wo ny friend, GASSAWAY Gaither, executor ~ of my lest will", S0.1f Jd 8" SHOOT @ dau.» MARY GAITHER, then she must have been! the wife of GAS WAY, the exeoutors Aud she also had & sister, Elizabeth GAITHER, 80 Siste “must Have married brothers.

Then you know WALTER had a Gaus HENRIETTA. ‘ Bia be yc vi : me - By 1936, when the will was written, two Smoot daus. had died: ELIZABETH GATTHER, wife of Welter probably), end Elender (Smoot) Ander- son.

Sherpe St, end in going over the papers I found an expression that reminded me of your comment on early surveys. Maybe things have not chenged, or meybe they are worse, There was a young fellow named Lucien Eaton who, having » girl not too far away, hung Out his shingle as » surveyor for » time in Statesville. He had been employed on e State commission and from his experience and training he must have been good. I got him, after I purchased 603 ¥. Sharpe, to survey, es the Cockrills had been - lit- tle fubny.

Swann, Maybe at last, I can get a letter to you. Everything has been happening as usual. August is a mis@réblé month for me, anyhow. I lost Toney on Aug, 18th - it Res been three years, and itois still like a horrible nightmare. Dadé@y had died on my birthday - Aug. 4th, and the doctors had told me on@ Aug. 12th’ that my Mother would die any minute. On top of that, we are still having over 100 temperature for over a month, I believe, and everything is burned up and no rain in sight. Then four days ago I had to go to Marlin for calf feed, my laundry, and & supply of groceries... At 630, just as I reached the city linits of Marlin, I ran into s construction road-sign. That whole highway has been torn up for over @ year, and they are constructing a new Brazos Riv- er bridge. Thé@ whole road 46 datizerous to travel, and this sign said- "End of Construétion". I think someone else hit the thing and pulled it almost into thé road, then I hit it. Tore-up my head-light, fender, the bumper, etc., and they want §70 to repair: it. You mentioned your driver's license, maybe I cannot see where I am going, @ither. I never co any- where except omibusiness or ie, Anyhow, have been so worried have not had sense enough to write. id cca te ee Wanted to answer. your two letters just @8 600n as they came. Was so glad to have ell that information. It amazes me - all the data you have col- lected, But first, I want-te-tett-you something else. Have you ever heard of am WA IT. /?', Gould he have been the father of my ELIZABETH SMOOT whoNwy*Walter Gatiher? You know I wrote to Salis- bury, three years. ago, for Besiligetther's will, and also for walter's. I had the Book @nd page numbers of Basil's will, so they sent that, but said I would have to have more information on Walter's will, as they did not find it. Last week I. wrote’to Mocksville, Davie County, for Walter's will. Felt certain it was there, if he had one. The following, came from the County Clerk: eget te "I have searched our records and there is no will of walter Gaith- er recorded in this County. (Algo no record of administration of any Walter Gaither estate.) One of our very earliest records, Will Bk. 1, page 7 8 & Pecording of will of IJAMES SMOOT, ‘father PL thei GALiniet, 11 Which he leaves some personal property to grancchiidren, heirs of Elizabeth GAITHER. There- fore, { think the will Gf Walter Gaither, if any, would be re- corded before Davie, County was formed, and should be at Salis- bury, df such @ will existed. — Yours truly, nF Syms Chaffin, ¢.S.c. " Now, I do not know what to think about Walter's will. None at Salisbury or she would mot look for it; and mone at Mocksville. Wonder if walter actually lived over the Davie-0¢, line, im Iredell ¢o.? He mst have lived near the Summers, and Hot too far-from the Johnsons. mn the other hand, maybe he had not to will! It would be odd if his will is at Statesville. Do not reme * whether I looked there or not. You prob- ably have, Anyhow, I do not;4mow what else to do about that. wonder if the Will Campbells at Mogksville could tell me anything? They had that Bible with PAMELIA Gaither's name’ in it; I do not: have walter's birth J Gate nor his death date, nor.where he lived.

I shall be glad to talk with you or any designated person or group who is interested in marking this grave. I am wholeheartedly in agreement with you that all graves should be marked and we are vrepared to assist anyone requesting the service for deceased veterans. To my knowledge this benefit is not available to members of the Revolutionary War, however, there are possibly other ways to obtain markers through veteran's organizations and auxiliaries, if vositive identification can be established. I have this date answered your letter tc the Editor, copy of which is attached. Please call on me at any time you feel I may be of service. : — yours, ~ Pierce VanHoy JPV:ds .

Holman Byers, pastor. Sunday will be homecoming day for church members, former members and _ pastors and friends. Revival services will be held throughout the week at 7:30 p.m. Rev. Neal Eller of Kernersville, a former pastor of the church, will be the home- coming speaker, George Huggins of Norwood will be the guest evangelist for the revival. Society Baptist Church was organized in 1821 in a two-room log school that was near the present church. Elder John ‘Angle, one of the charter mem- - bers, preached the first sermon from Isaiah 63:1. Elder Joseph Pickler was the first pastor. The church was the meeting place for several associational meetings as early as 1833. It is one of 12 charter churches that formed the present South Yadkin Association, of which Society is still an active member. The church became an early advocate of Christian education by organizing a Sunday school in 1857. The Women’s Missionary group was formed in 1912. A youth group was formed in 1959 which is still active today as the youth choir. The choir has grown to a membership of about 40 and can be heard each | Sunday evening. The church sold the old pastorium near Cool Springs and built a new brick parsonage near the church in 1968. and Rev. building was completed in 1971. Various groups of the chi'rch conduct services at the Rose- wood Rest Home in Harmony. There have been four church members who have gone out to preach the gospel. Sates Through the years, the church has had 28 pastors, and Rev. Byers, the present minister, came in June, 1970.

Turner and was adopted. REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The first meeting of your Executive Committee was held at the First Baptist church, Salisbury, N. C., December 10th, 1927, at 11:00 A. M. The meeting was opened with prayer by Bro. C. 8, Cashwell, after which W. C. Garrett was elected Secretary of the Board, and the Committee soon went into the matters. before the Board. A full discussion was:had relativé to the progress made by the new fields recently organized, composed of the industrial districts in and around Salisbury, Statesville, and Mooresville. The Board is delighted, and wishes to congratulate the Association on its progress relative to these new additions to our body, but the task igs just beginning, and our opportunity for Kingdom work among these people is yreater than ever before, Several applications for aid from the State Board were before the Committee and these were prayerfully considered. The pastors of these various fields were very considerate and. respectful toward the serious financial condition. of the State Board, and in some cases, made application for even less than was actually necessary to properly carry on the work. After careful consideration the Committee rec- ommended the following: For the East Spencer field $300.00 Harmony field 300.00 Cool Springs 100,00 Front Street : 100.00 Troutman a 200.00 Turrentine : sie 300.00 200.00 Total $1500.00 The amount recommended by last year’s Committee was $2040.00, So you see this Committee, together with the pastors, tried to reduce this aid as much as possible, and yet not hamper the work in these fields, ‘ As a whole, we consider the year just passed a good one in the life of our Association, but the time is here when we must do more personal work, and. urge our members to practice Christian steward ship.

Vann. Report adopted. REPORT ON THE BAPTIST CO-OPERATIVE PROGRAM Baptists have neither popes, bishops nor priests who have au- thority to tell them what they must do or how they must. do it. Therefore, the suecess of all our general missionary, benevolent, and educational work depends upon co-operation. Time and again our Association has pledged its loyalty to our Co-operative Program, and again we wish to affirm our determination to stand with our brethren of North Carolina and the South in this great work. At its June meeting, the General Board of our Baptist State Convention adopted $600,000.00 as the suggestive goal for North Carolina Baptists to raise for all objects included in the Co-operative Program, except the Orphanage. This money is to be divided equally between State-wide and South-wide objects. For general information the division of each dollar is given below: PROCKEDINGS Gi For State-wide purposes: State Missions Baptist Schools Bapt ist Hospit Total r South-wide Purposes: Foreign Missions He TNE Missions The paca Seminaries Ministerial Relief.

Dr. Gray reports that during the year. 1926-°27, that he had 963 missionaries on the field, who made 109,419 sermons and addresses, delivered 19,217 Bibles and..Testaments, constituted 168 churches, organized 406 Sunday schools, and as a result, sceured S40 volunteers for Christiaa service, and added to the kingdom 20,686 by baptism, 15,047 by letter, a total of 36,285. our Surely a record such as this: ought to inspire us to forget iY failures, cease our criticism, and enter into a support of this work with a zeal and determination never before witnessed, A huge task, and a worthy one, that we must heed With our prayers and our hands iiediately, is the eall that comes from the Missis ippi flood district Hlundreds of Baptist churches, both white and colored have been ruin ed, their pastors and members rendered .destitut by the tlood waters, they must have aid if they are to survive.

Mis SIONS Ad pted, STATE MISSION REPOR1 Mfforts in missionary work must move along practieally the same lines ho ma er where the work is doe The terms Home, Moreign ind State when applied to missionary work denote only the field vot activity. By State Missions, then, we mean the prosecution of mis slonary work within the bounds of the State. We should be careful not to confuse Home Missions with State Missions: Home Missions is under the direetion of the -Southern saptist Convention, and in cludes all the States in its Iv unds, while State Missions IS under the direction of the General Association of the State. The State Mission task is large and of vast importance. It in cludes the oceupying of destitute fields. evangelism, enlistment, col portage, work among. the negroas, sustaining missionary pastors, as sisting weak churches to support their pastors, Sunday School Work, B. Y. P. U. Work, W. M. U. Work, Student Activities,’ Preachers’ School, Book Shop, and aiding in the publishing of the ‘* Biblical Re corded.’’ Some of the objects are neglected, -but they are bilities just the same. The State Mission Board. is Ihiyy responsi also the collect agent for the following objects: Foreign Missions, Home Missions, Christian Kdueation, Minis terial-Rehef and Annuities, New Orleans Hospital, State Missions, Children’s Home, hospital and church building. This makes up the unified budget, It should be remembered that Foret gn Missions, Home Mj ns, nnd all of our co-operative program depends upon. State Missions. A Vivorous State mission program: will bring sueeess to all of these ayencies, Since 1830 when the Baptist State Convention was organized, its’ avowed purpose has been to ‘Give the Gospel to North Carolina, and then to all the world.’?’ Then, there were only 15,000 Baptists, White and colored in North Carolina; now, there are about 600,000 About 48 percent of the ehureh members of the State are Baptists In 1830 the Convention gave $700.00 tor benevolences:last year it gave $737,317.33. During the past. four vears the appropriations for State Mission work have been reduced from $146,000 to $77,000, 14 PROCEEDINGS OF THE and there is still remaining a debt of $60,000. It looks as though more reductions will have to be made. The Board is helping to sus- tain 87 missionary pastors who serve 147 churches. The report of our last convention showed 118 missionaries serving 200 churches. Eleven new churehes were organized, and 3,561 members received. In the department of the W. M. U., Mrs. W. N. Jones is presi- dent, and Mrs. Edna R. Harry is corresponding secretary. There are now 2,443 W. M. U. organizations in the State, with a member ship of 40,326. These contributed over $265,000 to the denomina tional causes last year. There are 972 ¢hurehes out of our 2.325 churches,in the State without any sort of) a nussionary organization whatever. Secretary Charles E. Maddry, and those associated with him, have served with untiring patience and sacrifivial service. Their hands have been tied by the lack of sufficient funds. It is a fact that Within‘our State there is destitution, and the responsibility for reach ing it lies at the door of North Carolina Baptists. Your committee would recommend: 1. That many times during the year, Secretary Maddry and the entire Board force, be remembered in prayer in all our churches, 2. That the churches rally to the support of the Unified Budyet, and send money promptly, through the regular channel. Submitted by, W. L. McSWAIN, Committee. oo, Pe report of the Committee on Foreign Missions being the next othe program, *Bro, LL Po Erazier, Chairman of this Committee, called Bro. W. Bo Waff to preside. Bro, Krazier read the report which was discusssed by him, Mrs. Geo. Woodward, Bro. B. E, Morris, and Bro. M. W. Gordon. Report adopted. REPORT ON FOREIGN MISSIONS In submitting a report on Foreign Missions we would report First, Achievements.—Southern Baptists are getting actual and gratifying results from their foreign mission investments. For in- stance, in spite of all the retrenchments which the Board has been compelled to make and all the tumult that iy abroad in he world, the Board reported for. the last Southern Baptist Convention year 12,085 baptisms. Year by year an increasing number of churches reach self-support. The Board reports 507 such churches on our for- eign mission. fields. The success of our foreign mission work should be an inspiration to the Baptists of this Association and of the South But what might have been wrought if our churches had made it pos- sible for the Board to take adequate care of its missionaries and the work and to appoint to this great service a multitude of young people Who, called of God to foreign mission work, have prepared themselves for it only to be disappointed when they offered themselves to the Board. SOUTH YADKIN Baptist ASSOCIATION 15 Second, Receipts of the Board.—During the last Southern Bap- tist Convention year, the Foreign Mission Board received from the Co operative Program $980,214 which was less than the previous year: by more than $91,000, The Board received during the year $290,000 in designated gifts for the work, and $247,000 in gifts designated to the debt. The debt-has been reduced to $748,000, but this reduction has been made at the expense of the work and by declining for two years or more to appoint -young) men and women whom God has called to foreign mission service. Third, The Needs—These needs may be named as two: 1. The Needs of the Board.—The Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention is hard-pressed. After all the economies Which the Foreign Mission Board has practiced, and all the retrench- ments which it has put into effect on the field, it is still burdened and embarrassed ‘by a debt and the large interest aecount which this debt necessitates, Is it right >that the denomination should ask its Bourd composed of 36 Baptists selected out of the brotherhood of the South and given no compensation for their work, to carry this burden in addition to that of administering a vast enterprise like Foreign Missions? Need on the Field.——Death, broken health, jand resignations have taken out of the work more than two seore missionaries and left great gaps in our missionary. staff which ought immediately to be filled up. A great company of*veung people, well) trained for: the service and with deep conviction that God. has calle] them to it, are importuning the Board to send them forth to fill up these gaps. South ern Baptists ought to make it possible to meet this yreat need by util izing these heaven-ealled young people before they |pass bevond the age when they can learn a new language and invest their lives profit ably on these fields. Meanwhile the missionaries who are left on the ficlds are hard-pressed and many necessities of their) work are unpro vided for, Buildings. that had been in course of jcorstruction for months and years cannot be completed while others! that are needed cannot be begun. Fourth, Recommendations Your committee: re commends, 1, That the pastors of our churches call their jeongregations to earnest prayer on behalf of our Foreign Mission Board, foreign mis sion work, our missionaries, the volunteers, and native Christians on the mission fields, and that all our people be encouraged to vive this Kreat cause a place in their family and daily prayers. ~. We recommend frequent sermons, addresses ‘on “oreign Mis sions and the use of foreign mission incident from our pulpit Surely our peonle ought to have information about a great! cause like this, and the facts about Southern Baptist Foreign Missions will prove an inspiration and a benediction to any church, 3. We recommend that pastors and church officials and leaders make liberal use of the free literature which the Foreign Mission joard: is ready to send anybody who will distribute it among Baptist church members. 16 PROCEEDINGS OF ‘THE t, We recommend. that mission study classes be Organized at central points in the assoglition and in our thurches. and that a ‘ a strong effort he made to get all the church id Bunday School otticers especially into these Study classes We believe: that thj Ko nflords pian fleur pinion wl C14 (ih opportunity. for t reat and tt f We recommend to our people the Annuity Bonds of the For i eign Mission Board ag offering Christian men and women hne Op portunity to make profitable jnvestments Lord, and we comm nd to all Baptists Foreign Missions in their wills ned rete) Board for Information about how to mal the Foreign Mission Board bequests which the \ 6.

Report of the Chairman of Committee on Christian Rducation was read by Bro. M. W. Gordon:land ‘was disctissed by him, and Brethren. Be Edler ay d Braxton Craig, We port addopiod CHRISTIAN EDUCATION It is u bit hard to understund how one can ¢laim to be a Chris tian aad not beheve in edueation. First, becausd Jes is put teaching along. with iscipling and baptizing ‘in the **Great Con mission Second, because Jesus, was more Trequently ealled ‘‘ Teacher’? than anvthing else. Third. His Inethod was that of tdachiny, Surely the authority of Christ: should be the end of all debate for all of His true followers, We must. educate. if we carry out dis ay unt stakable commands We are persuaded that most Christians do believe in education that is distinetly Christian. Practically eve ry one of pur denominational schools has come nm Tesponse to conscious’ need for better preachers and other tra Ned leaders, Of the first one hundred and nincteen colleges jn America, East of the Mississippi River, one bundred and four were| established by the diferent religious denominations. to meet religious needs The up palling apathy on the part of so many of our people conecrniny this department of our work. is not so much the product ot unbelief { in Christian Education as*it is a lack: of faith in some of the modern methods of doing it. We must see to it, therefore, that our insti- tutions of learning train our boys and girls in| the thinvs Christ commanded us, With all honor to the State, we make’ bold to say that she cannot give a complete education, because no education’ ig complete without the Christian Religion, and by the Very genius of our government, Sout Yapkin Baprigr Assocta tion 17 the State cannot teach religion. Our schools and colleges must go on then if we have men and women properly educated. Indeed, the progress of our churches depends largely upon our! teaching forces. We must put our boys and girls and own money in our schools and colleges. Through the Co-operative program, we must provide for oper- ating our educational institutions until such time as we can accumu- late sufficient endowment and release them from the burdensome debts now resting on them, and give them a chance to serve the Kingdom of our Lord. Respectfully submitted, M. W. GORDON, Chairman. 31. The report on W. M. U. Work was made by Miss Laura Lazenby, who talked very interestingly on Woman's Work in the Association and in the State.

There has been better co-operation in reporting work done and more societies have been organized the past year than usual, The 8. Y. W. MU. was asked to give $6,000 for the calendar year January 1, 1926 to December 31, 1927. We gave $6,975.40. We are glad that we have one chureh that has the full graded W. M. U. organizations, Front Street, Statesville, The annual meeting was held at Harmony Baptist church on July 7th. There was a good attendance and it was then decided to have another linen shower for our Baptist Hospital, We want to work on all lines, but we desire to put more special effort on Mission Study, and work for the young people.
