A small quote from this most interesting article states the following:
...when the church was called Elder Joseph Pitt to serve it. Elder Pitt had been ordained by West Station Camp Church in October of 1834. He is the first minister to be ordained by this church that we have any record of Elder Pitt served the church well from 1836-1849. He was the moderator at the organizing of the Stones River Association of Primitive Baptist (1837), and was sent as a messenger every year until his death in 1884.
After Elder Pitt gave up the pastorate in 1849, the church called upon Elder M. H. Hodges of East Station Camp Church to serve as co-pastor with Elder Phillip Ball.
