April 7th. [1851] Monday. An election held today for ordinary -- R. G. Norton & E. F. Morrall candidates. Ned is determined to have an office. I fear he will get beat again, the polls only open for one day & not many persons will go out. I went out & gave him a vote. This is the 4th election held this fall.

Rev. Evan Pugh records a meeting at Black Swamp at which Mr. Pelot preached on December 25, 1762. The congregation there remained a branch of Pipe Creek Church untill February, 1786, when the Black Swamp Church, consisting of eight members, was constituted with the assistance of Rev. Abraham Marshall and Rev. Henry Holcombe. Their only pastor in the early years was Rev. Alexander Scott, though Rev. John Goldwire, Rev. Moses Hadley, and a licentiate, William Cone, were with them for a time. The meeting house was built about 1781 on a lot of two acres probably given by a member of the Robert family, which was prominent in the church from its beginning, although descended from Reb. Pierre Robert, an early Huguenot minister. The lot is situated about three miles north of Robertville on tributary waters of Black Swamp...
A remarkable revival occurred in 1802 under the preaching of Rev. Alexander Scott and Rev. Moses Hadley, upwards of forty being added in a short time by baptism.
