Smyrna United Methodist Church

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:56:33 +0000

I ran across this brief history of Smyrna United Methodist Church in Buckingham County, Virginia. They mention several Phaup's that went there and went on to become ministers. Here's the description and a link to the rest of the brief history...

"A Brief History of Smyrna United Methodist Church
Buckingham County, Virginia
Prospect Charge, Farmville District
Virginia Conference

Home Page Smyrna United Methodist Church was founded as Lackland Meeting House in 1773 or 1774 on land given by Zadock Lackland, an early leader. In 1837, the church building was apparently moved to the present location on Route 15 at Sheppards and was used until 1883 when the present building was constructed. Mr. G.W. Moss, now deceased, said that the old church was torn down and sold to Oak Grove Church to be used in their building about two miles south of Smyrna. The present site was reportedly bought from Mr. William Sheppard or his heirs and from time to time land has been bought from the Sheppard-Crute-Jones estate for use in the grounds and cemetery. Two sources have reported that the contractor for the new church was Mr. Daniel E. Pollard. A cornerstone was laid in the new building by the Masons of Farmville Lodge No. 41 A F & A M on August 1, 1883. The box reportedly contained the Discipline of 1882, a hymnal, the roll of committees and trustees of the church, the names of the presiding Elder Pastor and Local Elder, the name of the Orator, the roll of Smyrna Rosebuds, a half penny of 1812 formerly owned by James Lackland, the Richmond Christian Advocate (July 26, 1883), the Nashville Christian Advocate (July 14, 1883), the Advocate of Missions (January, 1883), the Women's Missionary Advocate (March, 1883), a new 1883 five cent piece, an 1883 penny, a $5 Confederate note, a list of officers and members of the Farmville Masonic Lodge, a list of subscribers to the church building fund, the name of the builder, a copy of the Richmond Dispatch, a copy of the Richmond Whig, and a list of officers and members of Southside Lodge No. 191 A F & A M.

Little is known about most of the early ministers of the church or the period of their service. Philip Gatch, the local minister, preached his farewell sermon at Lackland Meeting House in 1798. Bishop Francis Asbury is reported to have preached at the original church in 1799. John Early Bishop preached his farewell sermon there in 1807. Travis Taylor was possibly the first preacher assigned by the Virginia Conference to the present church. Lists of children baptized reveal the names and dates of service of a few early preachers: J.C. Crute (1887), J.E. Potts (1888), R.W. Watts (1890-1897), T.H. Campbell (1894), Bascom Dey (1899), and Patrick M. Bell (1903).

Smyrna joined the present circuit in 1873. A list of the trustees of the church dated November 4, 1886, gives the following names: T.H. Garnett, Dennis Lackland, H.C. Baughan, Geo. M. Gillispie, Jno. G. Morris, Geo. M. Pollard, and D.E. Pollard.
