Note: from Centennial History of Rush County, Indiana, Vol. 1, pp.402-3 (regarding the Little Flat Rock Church):

"The old minute book notes (April 2, 1830) the difficulties over matters of doctrine and the division of the church. A little table furnishes the facts in brief form. It enumerates: 'Dismissed by letter, 6, Thompson's party, 31; total amount, 55.' This would leave only eighteen. On the preceding page it gives 'the names of the parties that left us' as follows: John P. Thompson, Priscilla Thompson, Simeon B. Lloyd, Mary Lloyd, Abner Hackleman, Elizabeth Hackleman, Roderick Talbott, Margaret Stephens, William Moor, Rebecca Moor, John Heaton, Hester Heaton, Phoebe Heaton, Thomas Heaton, Margaret Williams, Mary McDaniel, Rebecca Garrison, John McDaniel, Katherine McDaniel, Jacob Coon, Margaret Coon, James Frazee, Katherine Frazee, Ebenezer Thompson, Mahalia Taylor, John Hawkins, Nancy Hawkins, Elizabeth Maple, and Elizabeth Moore."
