 CHURCHES: NEW SALEM (1829)
 New Salem Baptist Church was organized on Wednesday after the third Saturday in August 1829. Names of the charter members are not known, but a request for helps to constitute appears in the records of Union Church, in Morgan County, and Elders Micajah B. Rowland and William Crow, and brethren Austin Sims, Strother Ball, and David Gimblin were appointed to attend from Union Church. At that time, what is now Menard County was still part of Sangamon County. The village of New Salem was platted out the same year, 1829. According to one source, the log meeting house was located "on a ridge the other side of Green's Rocky Branch, a creek south of New Salem." This site is near the modern day reconstructed "New Salem Village" where Abraham Lincoln lived after leaving home, and before moving to Springfield.
 CLARY'S GROVE (1830-1831):
 The minutes of the Sangamon Association from 1824 through 1827 are missing, and the records of Clary's Grove Church are not known to exist, so we cannot fully verify the facts. We do know the following: (1) Elder Gum did live in Menard County, having moved there in 1822, and then moved to Knox County in 1827, where he helped organized Henderson Church (the first church of any faith in that county) in 1830. (2) Elders William Crow, William Bradley, and Micajah B. Rowland immigrated to west central Illinois in 1820, January 1826 and December 1827, respectively. Elder Bradley joined Union church in Morgan County, by letter from Middle Fork of Little River Church, in Kentucky, and Elder Rowland joined Union Church in Morgan County, by letter from the Sinking Fork of Little River Church, in Kentucky. (3) We have no record of a William Rollin, but the author of the information may have meant Elder Micajah B. Rowland. (4) James Bradley was not an ordained minister, so the author of the article may have meant Elder William Bradley. (5) It appears to us that the date 1824 could not be correct for the latter two ministers (Micajah B. Rowland and William Bradley) to be present. (Source 3)
  RELIGION: Union Church was organized August 6, 1825, at the home of Brother Henry Keltner. The presbytery was composed of Elder Samuel Bristow, moderator; Elder William Crow, clerk; and Brethren Peter Conover, Abraham Burgan, Moses Carlock, Aaron Houton, William Miller, and Claibourn Jones, from Indian Creek and Richland (formerly Sangamo) churches.
 Pastors of Union Church, during its history of over 100 years, included Elders William Crow, Isaac N. Vanmeter, John L. Scott, and L. P. Harris. Elders Micajah B. Rowland and William Bradley were early members of this church.
 SOUTH FORK OF MAUVAISTERRE South Fork of Mauvaisterre Church was organized January 27, 1827. The charter members were Richard Wood, Joseph Buchanan, Martin Grider, William Rodgers, Johnston Shelton, Joseph Waters, Hessa Wood, Nancy Sample, Malinda Rogers, Elizabeth Rogers, Sarah Shelton, and Celia Waters. The council which organized the church were as follows, viz., Elders Micajah Rowland, William Crow, and William Kenner; and Deacons Austin Sims, Peter Robinson, David Gimblin, and Aquillar Hall.
 The records seldom state the election of a pastor, but many brethren preached for the church, and several were ordained here. Some of the names who preached regularly, or served as pastor, were Elders Micajah B. Rowland, Isaac Conlee, William Rodgers, William Grimsley, Joseph Buchanan, Thornton Sheppard, William Crow, Isaac Daniels, A. W. Murray, G. W. Murphy, Edmund T. Morris, George W. Murray, Whitfield Conlee, John A. Conlee, Lewis E. Frazee, Josiah B. Dobbs, H. S. Peak, S. A. Elkins, J. L. Ludwick, D. W. Owens, W. I. Carnell, James L. Dobbs, Ancil J. Conlee, and W. A. Chastain.
 For twenty-four years after the organization, the regular meetings were held sometimes at the school house, sometimes at private homes. They evidently met in a primitive log cabin part of the time, until 1850, when a new meeting house was built at the same site, at a cost of $456.35. The third and last meeting house was an attractive white frame structure, built in 1890, at a cost of $1,800. (source 4)
  RELIGION: Union Regular Baptist Church
 of Bethel Township
 In 1833, Elder Micajah B. Rowland joined the Union church by letter, and soon became pastor of the church, and was released from it in 1835. He afterwards removed to Iowa and continued to preach until he was worn out with old age. (source 5)
