I am by no means an expert on Kentucky church history, but I will share something I have learned. My 3rd great grandfather, a longtime resident of Spencer County, was a member of the Dunkers church, Church of the Brethren. During the early history of these churches there seems to be a lack of official documentation on them and their members. However, I have found that when they changed from one denomination to another, sometimes older customs went with the new church. While the lines of denominations are blurred, it is not necessarily reflected in the official early church histories. For example, “Love Feasts” and “Washing of Feet” were a Brethren custom which transferred to some Baptist churches. I found it important to look at the other members names and the churches they came from to see the undocumented history of early Kentucky churches.
