BUTLER CIRCUIT, DEMOPOLIS DISTRICT

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH SOUTH

Some 1874 members
Hazel R. Collins Ivison collected this information which appeared in Confederate Echoes, November 1965, issued by Dorothy Ivison Moffett, Mobile.

I found this publication in the Mobile Public Library, copied it, & brought it home. After re-typing some of the lists, the "magic machine" alphabetized all the names for us.

Ivison had the members under male and female headings. I have identified the female members whose first names were initials only by adding (female).

Some of these churches are disbanded, or have changed their names, This is our best guess as to the area they were located in in 1874.

"Out at New Hope Church near Dicks' mill" was in The Choctaw County News, September 19, 1878. The Putnam Dicks family lived at Chappell Hill, near Christopher Chapel Church, or present day Jachin.
