The first meetings were held at the house of William Farquhar until 1815, when a log meeting house was built. In 1820 it was replaced by a brick structure 30 x 40 in Section 9, south of Richmond. The old building still stands in its quiet graveyard, but silent and deeserted. The society disolved many years ago, and B. L. Crew, of Richmond, is the sole living representative.
