A Sesquicentennial History of the Green River Missionary Baptist Church 1836 - 1986, Written and Compiled by Wendell Holmes Rone, Sr., For the One Hundred and Fiftieth Anniversary of the Founding of the Church, 1987. By permission of author. Ohio County. BROTHER SIMPSON KEOWN, who became a member in 1838, was licensed to preach by the Church on May 3, 1845; but, on the following December 6th, he was excluded for having united with the "Reformers" or "Campbellites", as they were popularly known. He must have recanted his action, and returned to the Church; because, on August 20, 1853, he was again excluded for returning to the "Reformers."
