New Union United Methodist Church was the second church to be the outgrowth of Deal's Meeting House. When the question of slavery was discussed, there were members in the Zion Chapel Church, the first church to be the outgrowth of Deal's Meeting House, who were not in sympathy with slavery or the southern cause, and a sect broke off and had services at Cheshire School. In 1865, a brush arbor which was known as "The Arbor" was erected. It stood near the site of New Union United Methodist Church. Revivals held under this arbor led to the organization of the New Union Methodist Episcopal Church. In 1869, Nathaniel Comer and wife, Rachel deeded five acres around the arbor to the church trustees. The church was built between 1875 and 1880. After several remodelings of the old church, it was decided that a new church was badly needed. On March 15, 1958 a groundbreaking service was held for the new church. The first service was held on May 31,1959. Now, we'll discuss how we got to this point. Sometime between 1758 and 1763, a brush arbor was built in the community known as North Calahaln on land located on the Old Georgia Road (now Calahaln Road). A man by the name of Deal is said to have been one of the earliest preachers. Each year he conducted a series of sermons under this arbor, and it is believed that is from this man that the name of Deal's Meeting House was derived. In 1780, the Yadkin Circuit was established. Under the leadership of Rev. Andrew Yeargan, a pioneer circuit rider, the settlers began to build the first Methodist Meeting House west of the Yadkin River. This house was known as Deal's Meeting House. In the spring of 1781, it was completed and dedicated. Since Deal's was the first church to be established in this section of North Carolina, people came from long distances to attend the services. Great revival meetings were held and many were added to the church membership. As the population increased, the attendance of the church meetings also increased, and the need for a larger house of worship was evident. In 1837, a new site about a mile north of Deal's Meeting House was selected. It consisted of 10.7 acres of beautiful forest land which was purchased from Martin May for the sum of $20.00. A fimne church building was erected, and the membership of Deal's Meeting House was transferred to the new location. At this time, the name was changed to Zion Chapel, but it became known locally as Hickory Grove Church, due to the many hickoiy trees that stood on the property. After the Civil War, some of the members of Zion Chapel withdrew and formed a new congregation which resulted in the establishing of New Union Methodist Church around 1870. This church is located one mile west of Zion Chapel. In 1961, the construction of the new Zion Chapel church building began. On May 27,1962, the dedication and laying of the cornerstone was held. On October 4,1998 Zion Chapel United Methodist Church merged with New Union United Methodist Church, with the new church being named New Union United Methodist Church.

Davie County Public Library yocksville, NC NEW UNION New Union Church in Davie County, a former M. E. Church, is sort of a grandchild to Beal's Chape! which was founded in 1780. Beat's was located on the old Georgia Road, now Calahain Road, nine miles northwest of Mocksville in the Sheffield community. It was on the Yadkin circuit when it was first traveled by Andrew Yeargin in 1780, and Bishop Asbury and Jesse Lee both preached there on Wednesday, October:16, 1799. In 1837, when a new building was needed, Beal's was relocated one mile north and was renamed Zion Chapel. Before 1865 some members of Zion's Chapel who opposed slavery and the Southern cause began to meet in the home of a Mr. Cheshire. He later gave land on which the group built a combined church and school and assumed the name of New Union. In 1865 the New Union Church built a brush arbor on land west of Sheffield near the Iredell County line. On October 27, 1869 Nathaniel Comer and wife, Rachel, deeded five acres of land around the arbor to trustees Joseph Cash, William Dyson and Hardy Varner. The New Union Church was built on that land, a building which served until another church was built in 1958. Eight ministers have come out of New Union Church. They are David Richardson, Joel C. Richardson, Robert Smith, Pinkney Tutterow, H. H. Varner, Wade E. Wright, Benny Church and William Harris. Joel C. Richardson (1858-1934) served in theBR-A Conference from 1894 to 1910. He then transferred to the WNC Conference in which he served until retirement in 1927. Davis S. Richardson (1865- 1932) joined the BR-A Conference in 1889 and transferred to the WNC Conference in 1903 and served there until his death. CHESTNUT GROVE Chestnut Grove Church originated as an M.E. Church about the same time as New Union. It is located about thirteen miles northwest of Mocksville near Highway 601. A brief history by Lum Chaffln recorded that Allen Blackwelder brought a preacher names Dunn into the community and services were held in Jacob Graves' barn in late 1867. The services were then moved to a log schoolhouse. Jacob Graves and his wife, Adeline, deeded the school and one and three-fourths acres of land upon which there was a grove of chestnut trees. The trustees of the new church were Allen Blackwelder, Adison Richardson and Columbus Richardson. While Adolphus J. Johnson was pastor in 1880, a frame church was erected. Church members who did the work were Hector Blackwelder, Caiaphas Blackwelder, Billie Moore, Ben Moore, Jacob Graves and others. That building was. replaced in 1908 when S. A. Earnhardt was pastor. Classrooms were added in 1948, and in 1958. Other early members of the church included Sallie Moore, Clementine Moore, William Hunter, Mike Richie, Frank Evans, Jake Moore, Janies Moore, Denny Grimes and Marion Booe. % l/iocksvu!^, i"-- In 1968 the church was brich veneered and in 1972 bathrooms, a kitchen and a fellowship hall were added, and in 1975 the sanctuai7 was renovated. Chestnut Grove had 119 members in 1988 and was on a charge with the 149 member Union Chapel, a former M,P, Church. PINEY GROVE Piney Grove is the one Black, former M. E. Church in Davie County. A simple building was erected in 1890 by families names Phelps, Mock, Nichols, Flynt, Foster and Hartman. The land was deeded on August 26, 1897, by W. A. Bailey and wife, Annie, to trustees Adam Peebles, Henry Nichols, Griffin Bailey, George Peebles and Miles Ellis. In the 1980's, Joe L. Ervin, Director of Extension Service for the WNC . Conference let a building team in the construction of a fellowship hall and the remodeling of the sanctuary. The church reported 37 members in 1988. NEW UNION UNITED METHODIST CHURCH New Union United Methodist Church, located in the Sheffield Community in the Northwestern part of Davie County, is the second church to be the outgrowth of the old BeaPs Meeting House. Before the uniting of the Methodist Church in 1939, it was a member of the Northern Methodist Group, and the pastor served from Harmony, NC. After the uniting in 1939, it was placed on the Mocksville circuit. When the question of slavery was discussed, there were members in the Zion Chapel Church, the first church to be the outgrowth of Beal's Meeting House, who were not in sympathy with slavery or the southern cause, and a sect broke off and had services in the Cheshire home which later became the John Ijames home. It was torn down in 1956. Mr. Cheshire owned a considerable amount of land, and he saw the need for a church and a school, and deeded a piece of land for this purpose. The Cheshire's School House served as both the site of the church and school. In 1865, a brush arbor which was known as "The Arbor" was erected.

NC /93z History of Methodism in Western Davie County The Mocksville Enterprise, 18 August 1932 Prepared by Latta B. Rutledge and Elma Richardson, August 12, 1932. A land without memories is a land without history. Western Davie County is prominently (sic) a land of memories — a land rich in history, rich in legends that tell of memories of long vanished days. Every citizen of North Carolina, in fact, every Methodist throughout the world should know the history of Methodism in this part of North Carolina. Early days in North Carolina In 1780 the colonial government passed to the crown. Immediately North Carolina became a Royal . Population increased, trade extended and the country continued to develop. About 1750, this section of the State began to feel the tide of immigration running full and strong. At that time the real conquest of the foothill country began. These pioneers found along the banks of Hunting Creek a wild, luxuriant, native flora, the home of the Red Man and wild animals. They soon drove back the Red Man of the Forest and began to build homes and clear land. Many of them secured State Grants from the King of England while others chose to work as hired help. Some of the First Families It is very interesting to note the names of some of the pioneer settlers of this section. The Pinchback family settled near what is the Bear Creek Baptist Church. This family is said to have built the Tavern, near Clarksville, that served as a modem hotel of its day. The Helsbeck family settled south of Pinchback estate. The Peck family lived near Holmes cross Roads. According to uncle St. Leager Beck, the Peck family later became known as the Beck family. In the Beck family was found many fine wood workmen and blacksmiths. The Jones family lived near here and fiimished the preachers for all this section. The Taylor family lived just south of this church. Another Taylor family lived where Mr. Little lives now. The Ratledge family settled on what is now the James S. Ratledge farm. Daniel Rutledge was said to be a blacksmith. The Anderson family settled south of the Ratledge estate. Other families of that date were: Beals, Mays, Penrose, Cunningham, Gaither, Fitzgerald, Parker, Richards, Powell, Tucks, and Richardsons. Early Religious Services According to information given to the writer by St. Leager Beck, Samuel Cunningham, and Isaac Ratledge, a brush arbor was built north of the present home of James S. Ratledge in the year of 1763. A man by the name of Beal often preached to the early settlers and each year held a series of meetings under this arbor. A man by the name of Jones often conducted services under this historic arbor. It is said that the great revivals were held before there was a meeting house in all this section. Many who were converted at these meetings, have for more than 150 years slept in the silent city of the dead close by the side of this old arbor site. Origin of Methodism The origin of Methodism in this section dates back almost parallel with the beginning of Methodism in North Carolina. In 1776 the first circuit was established in this state, and was called the Carolina Circuit. In 1780, the Yadkin Circuit was formed with Andrew Yeargen as preacher in charge. This circuit embraced all this section of the state and had only eleven (11) members. It is said that Yeargen preached his first Methodist sermon under the old brush Arbor previously mentioned. Early Churches Rev. Andrew Yeargen, the first Methodist preacher to set his foot upon Davie county soil was sent to a circuit without a single church building. In the fall of 1780, the pioneer settlers led by the humble servant of God, Rev. Andrew Yeargen, began to cut and hue the logs to build the first Methodist Meeting house in all 1^ Davie county Pubiic Liorarv Mocksville. NC this section of North Carolina. It was built just across the old Georgia Road from the Brush Arbor on what is now the A.D. Ratledge farm. According to tradition, there was a great celebration at this meeting house in the spring of 1781 when it was completed. The settlers for many miles around came in wagons and on horse-back bringing with them the very choicest of food to be served at the noon hour. Many brought their Jugs along and served the contents to the older people but none became drunk. Rev. Andrew Yeargen preached the sermon at the eleven o'clock hour. The people were rude and almost as wild as the native deer, it is said. At Seal's meeting house tradition says that as the preacher closed a warm and moving sermon, he walked down into the congregation and laid his hand on the head of an old man saying: "My friend, don't you want to go to heaven?" To which the frightened man replied: "Man for God's sake go off and let me alone; 1 don't live around here. I come from away up in the mountains." In 1795 a quarterly conference was held here at this church and when the question. How much has been received on pastor's salary, was asked, the pastor. Rev. Charles Ledbetter held up one pair of socks. It is said that many were converted at the quarterly meetings held at Real's meeting House. On one occasion, every unsaved person present went to the altar and was saved before the meeting closed. Real's Meeting House served this section as a church and school house for nearly sixty years. Many who were led to accept Christ at this historic church, went out into the great wilderness country and led other early settlers to Christ. About 1837 Real's Meeting House was officially closed as a place of worship. The building was in need of repairs. Ry this time hundreds of people had moved to this section of the country. A new meeting house was needed and afrer carefully considering the best location, the committee decided to build the new Methodist Episcopal church about two miles north of the old church. In 1837 the deed to the land was secured and the new church was soon completed and ready for use. In 1844 the Methodist Episcopal Church suffered a very unnecessary division. In this division the New Church, which had just been named "Zion," fell to the newly organized Methodist Episcopal Church South. This left the Methodist Episcopal people without a church building. A class began at once to hold meetings in a private home. Later this class moved to Cheshire's School House where monthly preaching services were held. Great revivals were conducted in this historic school building. Interest in the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church continued to grow. The people were not content to worship in the community school house where they had already perfected an organized church. Ry about 1865, they began an arbor just north of our cemetery. Four years later,! 869, Nathaniel Comer and wife, Rachel Comer, deeded five acres of land around this arbor to Joseph P. Cash, William Dyson and Hardy Vamer who were appointed trustees of the arbor property. Interest continued to grow in the work and in 1837 this present church was begun following the great revivals conducted Rev. John Naylor of New York. During the fifty nine years this church has been serving this community, many of the pastors have been the leading ministers of the conference. Frequently our older people speak of Rev. Dolly Johnson as "the preacher who was loved by all who knew him." During a revival conducted by Rev. F.A.L. Clark more than thirty years ago, many souls were bom into the kingdom and shouts of new bom souls were heard ringing out over the community. Many pastors have come and gone and done much and lasting good. Revs. D.A. Railey, Ren Hill, Tumer Rrown, David White, J.M. Wall, S.N. Rumgamer and A.S. Reaman and a number of others have served this church well as pastors. In the fall of 1931, our conference sent Rev. Lacy H. Thompson to us as our pastor. He has served us in a very efficient manner and is loved by all who have leamed to know him. The work has prospered under his leadership. Prepared by Latta B.

New Union's ccmtents were enclosed in plastic and wrapped in aluminum foil. Zion's contents were in a copper box, which appears to be handmade. On Sunday, September 25,2005, the contents were revealed at the 11:00 am worship service. The service was opened with the choir singing "That Glad Reunion Daj^'. Pastor Galen Hahn then welcomed everyone and asked for any prayer concerns before closing with prayer. The choir then sang "What a Day That Will Be", followed by the congregation joining in singing "The Church's One Foundation". Sister Vicki Groce then led the Children's Time with the children guessing what might be in the cornerstone. Our offering ($2236.00) was taken by ushers Kenny and Brian Williams.

Some of the guesses were: copy of deeds, Bible, hymnbook, pictures, bulletin, church membership roll, and chewing tobacco (which was guessed by none other dian our pastor). Lizzie Reeves and Phyllis Reeves Williams were present at the laying of New Union's cornerstone and had some recollection of the items placed there in 1960. An enamel bucket was displayed on the table with the cornerstone contents. The bucket was given to the church by Edward Gaither.
