Minutes of the Long Run Association, Held at Corn Creek Meeting-House, Gallatin County, the first Friday in September, 1809.” (pdf)

“The Corn Creek Baptist Church in Trimble County joined the Elkhorn Association in 1801.  After admission, the church sent in this query to the Association: “Is a Christian to take all manner of abuse from a ruffian, without making resistance?” Answer:  “Yes, so far as the abuse amounts to language only.” The First Associations Formed In Kentucky, by Frank M. Masters

“The Corn Creek church, Trimble county, Ky., has been recently awakened and revived, after having been for a long time almost without a “name to live.” Sixty-seven persons have been received, all by baptism but five or six, and they are now taking measures for building a large meeting house.” Christian Secretary, September 6, 1839
