Midwest Trip - June 25-30, 2009
Tom Childers, Scott Harp, and Wayne Kilpatrick traveled over 3,000 miles on a restoration research trip through Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky. We had good weather and few disappointments in our finds. Some photos from our first two days of travel are posted at www.friendsoftherestoraion.com, but after 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. schedule, there was not much time for posting to the site.
We located the graves of over 72 preachers and church leaders. Here are what I consider our top finds.
1. Celia Stone, second wife of Barton Stone. She is buried in Hannibal, MO.
2. The abandoned grave of Jeremiah Vardeman who the moderator for one of Alexander Campbell's debates. No, we did not get any chiggers, ticks, or snake bites.
3. The tombstone of George Ann Shaw, 14 year old daughter of Knowles Shaw. What are the chances that George Ann Robertson of Georgie Robertson Christian College has the same name as the daughter of Knowles Shaw who preached several times in Henderson, TN?
