| At what date the first church organization was effected cannot be definitely determined. |
| Tradition asserts that meetings were held as early as 1737. It is noticeable that no interments |
| ever took place here, but that the dead were buried in the graveyard of the East Swamp |
| church, about a mile to the east from the site of the first church building. The latter (East |
| Swamp) church was built about the year 1771. After the erection of this new house of |
| worship services were held in both alternately. The new one was afterward destroyed by |
| fire, and a second of logs, erected in its stead, which served the double purpose of school |
| and meeting house. It was used as a meeting house until 1850, when it was replaced by the |
| present large East Swamp church. In 1790 a tract of eighty perches was conveyed and this |
| lot is the site of the present West Swamp Mennonite church. The original meeting house was |
| removed and rebuilt and services held there until 1819. Battle's History of BC (1887), page |
