OLD RECORDS RECBNTL DISCOT

CITY, INDIANA
___ |
LINCOLN CITY, Ind- Rolling back
the mists of a eentnry and offering
the deer-skin-bound records of Little
Pigeon Baptist Church near here are
the missing link of Abraham Lin
coln’s religion, Thomas B. McGregor,
assistant attorney general of the
state of Kentucky, has given to an
appreciative America substantial evi
dence that Abraham, Lincoln was in
the simple faith of the “hard-shelled”
Baptist church.
Mystery of Hi* Rsligie*
Much of the mvstery of Lincoln’s
religion, and that of his parents, for
over a half century a mooted ques
tion, has been evaporated by the
findings of Mr. McGregor in the little
old deer-skin book of Little Pigeon
Church.
There is no record of Abraham
j Lincoln's affiliation with any church
denomination, but Mr. McGregor’s
(story of Thomas Lincoln, moderator'
and pillar of the little Baptist church
proves conclusively, Mr. McGregor
|says that the Lincoln family were
Baptist.
“The parents of Abraham Lineols
deserve a fairer estimate than has
.
been allotted them by most of the
biographersof Lincoln,” said Mr. |
McGregor, “and the story, as told by j
the records that are still to be found
in the archives of Little Pigeon
| church, near Lincoln City, Spendtr
I county, Indiana, of the devotion paid
Iby the parents of Lincoln to Him
j who guided the lad of Pigeon Creek
I in the hour of the nation’s travail,
j goes far to give to them their true
I estimate. In fact they were well-to-!
| do pioneers of their day; of sturdy
; ancestral stock, owned a farm, dn
| niestic animals, tools and a family
I Bible; neighborly, sacrificing aad ac
i tive church-going members.
Ckareb Founded 181*
i “Pigeon Creek Church was founded
on June 8, 1316 the year that The mas
Lincoln and his family' moved frem
Kentucky and settled ei Little Pig
eon Creek ia what was then Warrick
county, Indiana Territory. It iwas
then, as sow. the chief church ia that
vicinity. When the meeting house
was built, its sits was selected about
a mile west of Thomas Lincoln’*
home, the church building today oc
cupying practically the same place.
When Lincoln’s mother died she was !
buried between their and the
church, the graveyard not haring!
been at that time started at the I
church, but when Lincoln’s sister,
Sarah Oriahy, died in I**l, she was
buried at the church burying ground,
where her grave is yet to he seen,
marked by a rough stone.
Has lilf Two Books
“This church with its continuons
existence since 1116, has only two
books containing its records and
minutes; the first covering the
period from 1816 to I*4*. It is in this
book that we find Abraham Lincoln’s
father, atepmoiho - and sister were
active members of the hard-shell
Baptist church of Pigeon Creek, and
this book with its deer skin cover,
the hair still remaining, not only re
veals in its crude historic way the
true religion of Lincoln’s parents, hut
gives us the best insight yet found to
his own religious views.
“Thomas Lineols and Nancy Hanks
were married by a Methodist minis
ter by the name sf Jesse Head, but
shortly afterward they were united
with one of the churches of the Bap
tist Licking-Locust Association of
Regular Baptist churches in Ken
tucky. and when Nancy Lincoln died
in Indiana, Abraham, by his own ef
forts. had their Kentucky pastor,
Wider David Hlkios, some to their
wilderness home and preach his
mother’s funeral.
Pillar of Uhnreh
“After Thomas Lincoln had mar
ried Sally Bush Johntson he sent
back to bis Kentucky church nad ob
tained his letter of fellowship and as
the minutes on June 1, 1823 show,
he united with the Piegon Creek
Church by this letter and his wife
by experience. Prom that date until
they moved to lUionis in 1839. their
names appear frequently in the
ntiutes of the church proceedings
Thomas being one of the pillars of
the church, acting as moderator, on
committees to investigate the conduct
of brethern and sisters, and messen
ger to association, bearing the letter
of Pigeon Creek to her sistar
churches.
The historic miute which records
the affiliation of Thomas Lincoln and
his wife with this little pioneer
church follows;
“June the 7th, 1123.
“The church met and after prayer
i proceeded t© business,
j “F'irst, inq aired for fellowship.
I “Second, invited members of sister
churches to seats with ns.
j “Third, opened a door for the re
! ception of members.
“Fourth, received Brother Thomas
‘ Lincoln by letter and * * *
"Seventh, received Brother John
Lincoln and Thomas Carter hy ox-.
f perience.”
“Thomas Lisrela was not ia such
poor circumstaaees but that ho al
ways donated to the seeds of his
church,” said Mr McGregor ia offor
