bHistory of Bear Grass Church
/bHISTORY OF THE CHURCHES COMPOSING THE KEHUKEE ASSOCIATION IN
1885.
1. iBeargrass, Martin County./i This church is situated in Martin County, about seven miles southwest of Willianiston. She was for several years a branch of the church at Skewarkey. A meeting-house was built by the brethren and neighbors not far from a water course by the name of Bear Grass, from which the name was derived. Conferences were held and gospel ordinances administered for several years by Elder Joseph Biggs, pastor of the church at Skewarkey. In the year 1839 the members of the church at Skewarkey, convenient to this place, petitioned for dismission to form a constitution, which was grauted, and Elders Joseph Biggs and Jeremiah Biggs and Jeremiah Leggett constituted a church at this place with thirty members. She then called on Elder Biggs, who consented to serve her as occasional pastor, and did so until 1833, when, from age and infirmity, he declined. After this time Elder John Ward served her as occasional pastor for some years.
In 1833 William Whitaker, being a member of this church, was licensed to exercise his gif ts. In 1838 he was ordained to the administration of gospel ordinances by a presbytery composed of Elders Joseph Biggs and Humphrey Stallings. He was then very soon called to the pastoral charge of the church, and continued to fill that office to the period of his death, which took place on November 33,1874. After his decease the church called Elder Levi Rogerson, whose membership was at Smithwick's Creek, to take the pastoral charge of her, and he continues in that capacity till this day, giving much satisfaction to the church. This church is now in a prosperous condition, having a goodly number of brethren to transact the business thereof. She has been favored, besides the services of her regular pastors, with the ministerial labors occasionally for the last forty years of Elders C. B. Hassell, Thomas Biggs, Henry Peal, William Gray, David House, William A. Ross, John L. Ross and Levi Rogerson. Her monthly meetings occur on the third Sunday and Saturday before in each month. Her number of members at present (1885) is forty-eight.
