Dear List Members:

See  also Ranck George W. The Travelling Church: An Account Of The Baptist 
Exodus From Virginia To Kentucky In 1781 Under The Leadership Of Rev. Lewis 
Craig And Captain William Ellis. Louisville: Press of Baptist Book Concern, 
1891.

On line at www. [and then] geocities.com/baptist_documents/travel.church.html.

Where it states: "Taken from a microform copy of George W. Ranck, The 
Travelling Church, Louisville: Press of Baptist Book Concern, 1891; this is 
a 39 page book. Copied at Steely Library Archives, Northern Kentucky 
University, Highland Heights, KY. - jrd."

Note, however, that knowledgeable and competent SW Virginia historians 
observe that Ranck's references to such mattera as the dating of Fort 
Chiswell are inaccurate.

Nonetheless it's an interesting account of the region in of 1781.
