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 2^nd 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.
