EDWIN C. GREGORY WOODSON Vlee-Pres{d«tit ^ HeOORRLE Secrelnr, A Tren.uter ^ kIZZIAH Salisbury, N.C. July 6, 1955. Dear Miss Mary: It was a real treat to have the privilege of talking with you the other day. I took the map down to have photostats made and they had to wait until some paper came in, so I will return your original and a copy shortly when I come to Mocksville again. I am still working on the case that I mentioned to you trying to find a Pearson connection with the Jones,Booe, Gaither, or Hodgens families, if any. I have just read your newspaper story about the old Eaton's Church. It is certainly fine. The following might be of value or interest to you. Lazarus Whitehead proves the Will of David Jones, in 1795. Jones' daughter Elizabeth to receive l/A acre next the "Old Burial Ground at Eaton's Meeting House, for the use of a burying groimd. The first Sheriff of Rowan County was one David Jones and this may be the same person. Wish you would tell me just where Oakland Church is located. Seems that Dr. Isaac W. Jones attended school there. I have some data on the Division of Daniel Eaton's land at the Nov. Session of Court, 1S25, when the following received 83 acres each: Margaret Tomlinson, Elizabeth Tomlinson, ffary Horn, and thw widow some acreage. The south end of the tract was awarded to Mary Horn and it stated "Land laid off Lot 3, (Mary Horn's) for the use and Benefit of Eaton's Meeting House." I hope to see you within the next few days and return your fine map of Davie County. Msuiy thanks for it. My regards. Sincerely yours. -A cL 1 ' iU Vi) I y cL o >- ^ DAVIE CO.

The Methodist diurch was used for several terms of the Davle County Court while the Court house was being built. The annual conferences were held in theMocksville church, the first in December,IMS, when Bishop T. A. Morris presided and the second In December 1664, during the War Between the States with the Rev.David Nicholson presiding in the absenceof Bishop John J. Early. At the first quarterly conference held onJan. 31,1891, a committee was appointedto assist the pastor (J. S. Nelson) in securing autucriptiona sufficient to t>ulld a new church.

These bricks were made on what is now Miss Martha Call's lot. To make the rounded bHcks which were used on the northeastcorner of the church, bricks were hauled to the Call land. S. M. Call, the father of MissMartha and S. Milton Call, made a pattern on'wood and each brick being rounded hadto conform exactly to the pattern. It was said that two colored men were kept onthis job for weeks and two grind stones were worn out In the "rounding" process. Jim Call was the architect for the churchand it was reported that when the foun dation was laid and the walls started, Mr. Jim walked to the front, surveyed the outline and remarked to his brother, S.

Heeled by a wood stove and lighted by kerosene lamps in wall brackets, the furniture consisted of "benches" arranged In the two "Amen aimers" facing the pulpit and in three rows down the church with an aisle on each side of the middle row.

The building had a circle of Sunday School rooms around the back part of the sanctuary, a baptistry, under the pulpit, a choir space along the wall between the pulpll and the front door, and stained glass memorial windows. More Sunday school rooms were added In 1930 and the basement area of this ad dition was made into class rooms for the children In 1939. In June 194S the trustees were instructed "to build to Uie north easl quarter of the church the complement of the original plans, being about nine feet in width at each end and about 20 feet long and two stories high.

Kowell In order to get the correct history of the Mocksville Presbyteriftn Church, it is necessary to go back to the Joppa Presbyterian Church. The present church Is a continuation of the old ono, the name having been changed by Presbytery on April le. 1866. There is little doubl of the fact that at Joppa, "or quite nuur there;—"Divine— Services" were held prior to the Revolution. From Sketches of North Carolina Foole, edition of 1912, page 318. is this comment: " — from the minutes of (he Synod in the year 1767." The Rev J.D. Kiipatrick is (he first pastor on record. He was releaaed from Joppa in 1766. The next recorded minister after him was the Rev. Franklin Walls. Beginning with the year 1632 there is an accurate record of the church. This book is entitled, "Joppa Church Session Book." The third recorded pastor of Joppa was the Rev. W.A. Hall. He was installed as pastor In 1623 and remained as pastor until A mo.st important congregational meeting was held April 6,1840. The entry for that date is as follows: "A meeting of the church was called, when it was decided by vole to remove the diurch. Col. Wm. F. Kelley, LA. WItherspoon and Thos. Brown were duly elected trustees of Joppa Church to vdiom the title is to be made." It appears (hat the aclual change did not take place until March of 1845. About iS3S the church moved to Salisbury Street, Mocksville. On the oe- caslon of the first service in the new church, the congregation met at the home of the pasto'r, inB-Rcverend-WRWam-A.- Kail, (the present 4St Salisbury Street) (.conimucd to page 5, iV) DAViE COUNTY ENTERPRISE RECORD.
