History of Licking county, O., its past and present containing a ... By
Albert Adams Graham
The Friendship, or, as it is commonly called, "The Hog R^in Baptist church" (Old
School) is one of the pioneer churches of Licking township, and of the county.
It has had a career of more than sixty-nine years, and has always exerted a
degree of influence second to but few churches in the county. Its positive
creed, the free, full, outspoken profession of its doctrines, and the unreserved
declaration of their belief by its adherents, their readiness to defend the
faith they cherish, and the avowal and prompt support by arguments of their
somewhat peculiar views as to faith and ecclesiastical usages, have all tended
to attract public attention. The foregoing considerations, together with the
wealth they represent, their numbers, their long history and identification with
pioneer times, and other causes, have contributed to make this church a power—a
church vigorous, widely known, and of considerable influence. The membership of
this church has generally been considerable, and crowds usually attend, its
ministrations. In 1818, sixty-two years ago, they erected a church which they
continued to occupy forty-two years. It was of hewed logs, with a gallery
running around three sides of it, and more than a third of a century ago Rev.
George Debolt occupied its pulpit. In 1860 it was superceded by a good frame
building, which is yet' occupied. It is of good size and stands on or near the
site of the original one, near Van Burenton, where the plank road crosses the
northeasterly branch of Hog run. Rev. John W. Patterson was the first preacher
in this church. The membership is now half a hundred or more.
The Friendship church was organized February 20, 1811, by Rev. Thomas Powell and
Rev. John W. Patterson. The following persons were the original members: Samuel
Meredith, John Simpson, Sarah Patterson, Elizabeth Meredith, Mary Sutton,
John VV. Patterson, Thomas Deweese, Ann Simpson, and Thomas Powell. Rev. Mr.
Patterson was pastor of this church about a dozen years or more after its
organization, and was succeeded by Rev. Eli Ashbrook, Elder Hill, Rev. George
Debolt, Rev. Christopher Coffman, Rev. Joshua Breese, Rev. John Parker, Rev.
Matthew Brown, Rev. S. Meredith, Rev. C. McClellan, Rev. Zachariah Thomas, and
Rev. Benjamin Lampton. This society also own a church near Linnville, erected in
1848.
