LIBERTY BAPTIST CHURCH, #1
bef. 1881--1889
Center City
[I have added #1, #2, #3, etc. as a tool to
differientiate these churches. While they could have been the same church,
the apparent locations make them appear to be differnent churches.]
The first Liberty Baptist Church
in Hamilton County Baptist Association was located near
Center City and near the current Hamilton/Mills County Line. This
church was active from before 1881 until 7 September, 1889, when it was
dismissed to the Mills County Baptist Association.
Until the county
line was changed in 1887. Liberty Baptist Church, #1 was in Hamilton
County. In an effort to obtain support for retaining Hamilton
as the county seat, Hamilton County Commissioners Court
released a portion of Hamilton County to Mills County in
1887. After the relocation of the county line, this church was in Mills
County.
