Wills Creek #1
Jackson and DeKalb Co, AL
11/4/1836
Still in existence
This small association is officially called, "Wills
Creek Association of United Baptists of the Primitive Faith and Order".
It has been known as a
Primitive Baptist association and has been known as United Primitive
Baptist. The name "United" was dropped in 1842, and that it was
restored in
1882. They probably called themselves Primitive Baptist from 1842
until 1882, then went back to United since no other PBs would
correspond.*
