CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

We are told that considerable success attended
these efforts, but we have no record of the work until
the spring of 1844.  In April of that year a peti-
tion signed by a number of the citizens of Browns-
ville and vicinity was presented to Union Presby-
tery, asking that body to organize a church here.
The record informs us that after Presbytery duly con-
sidered the propriety of the petition it was granted
and the Rev. S. E. Hudson was appointed to assist
Rev. W. E. Post in said organization. For some
reason this action was not carried out until five
months later, Sept. 10, 1844. The Rev. J. T. A.
Henderson was present and assisted at the organi-
zation.  There are thirty names on the original roll.
Josiah Waggoner and William Robbins were elected
and ordained ruling elders.
