Excerpt from History of Coffee Creek Baptist Association, (Southern Indiana): An Account of Present Churches, and Biographical Sketches of Its Ministers In compiling this work the author has endeavored, as far as possible, to give an accurate history, not only of the organization and progress of the Association, but of its churches and ministers. The imperfect manner in which many of the church records have been kept, particularly in early times, has rendered the task difficult. Those early records are in some cases lost. At best they are fragmentary, and many items, which would now be of great interest, are omitted. Such being the case, the dates given in a few of the early pastorates may not be exact. While it is not claimed, therefore, that the work is entirely free from error, in this respect, it is believed to be as nearly so as possible. But still more difficult has been the task of collecting a true history of some of the early ministers. As far as known, not one of these kept a diary, or left any account of his ministerial labors, or early history. In some cases, no traces even of their families have been found. In these cases the author has availed himself not only of church records and associational minutes, but of the memories of early settlers yet living. Personal interviews with many of these pioneer settlers, in different neighborhoods, have been held; or, where this was not practicable, correspondence has been resorted to.
