Notes

...Isaac Colvin, an early pioneer, established a store on the east side of Ohio St. and after operating it for many years sold it to Samuel M. Smith. (Source: Elsie Johnson Ayres, "Highland Pioneer Sketches and Family Genealogies", (Springfield, Ohio: H. K. Skinner and Son, 1971, pg. 264)
The Methodist were pathfinders in New Market as well as other small towns in the County. Rev. Robert Finley, a Presbyterian minister, settled on White Oak before 1800. He was in disfavor with his own Presbytery because of his indiscretions and his stand on Abolition. He held Methodist Class Meetings in various homes in New Market. William boatman was one of the first to open his home for meetings when Rev. Henry Smith, circuit rider, came through the area as early as 1801. He also stopped at lonely cabins in the area and preached to a few people.
...A record could not be found of a Methodist Church building before the year 1836. The first record of members owning land for church purposes was on Mar. 28, 1826.
...A log meeting house was erected on the lot and used until 1849. On March 17, 1849, members of the "Methodist Church of New Market met and resolved to build a new meeting hours." According to the record, the building was to be constructed of brick, fifty feet long, forty feet wide, sixteen feet high and was to have a "square ceiling." By June 10, 1849, the sum of $900 had been subscribed and the committee was instructed to procure a "suitable lot."
...On June 4, 1851, land for the location of the church was procured from Hazard P. Barrere and Eliza, his wife, for the sum of $50. There were a set of rules included in the agreement which stated that "A place of worship was to bne built for the members of the Methodist Church, according to the rules and discipline o the General conference and for the use of such ministers and preachers as were duly authorized by the Conference."
...A revival meeting held in the New Market community from Nov. 27 to Dec. 15, in 1847. Isaac Colvin and Lucinda Colvin became members by letter. (Source: Elsie Johnson Ayres, "Highland Pioneer Sketches and Family Genealogies", (Springfield, Ohio: H. K. Skinner and Son, 1971, pg. 270)
