Bacon Ridge Presbyterian Pioneer Church Register 1802-1931 (with years missing between 1872 to 1930). Excel Format - The source is Indexed by Surname. The register includes infant baptisms (with birthdates and parents names) and much more genealogical information. The church relocated during the mid 1840's just a few miles up the road, still located in Ross Township to a location referred to as Shane/Shanetown/Lebanon. The old graveyard remained behind with some of the earliest burials remaining. The graveyard was neglected for many years and many of the early tombstones are missing, thrown away, sunken in the ground in pieces, or illegible. Once the church was relocated to Shane a new graveyard was located beside the new church. Currently as of 2013, there are no signs of either church except a few red bricks thrown in the woods nearby the old graveyard in the Bacon Ridge cemetery. This was transcribed by Flora L. VerStraten-Merrin from original church records of Bacon Ridge Church. These records may be the only source of a child's birth or death. These records clarify how early the church and graveyard began as well as when other nearby churches sprung up - thus the term "dismissed" to other churches closer to where the pioneer lived |
