From Early Churches of Blackford County, IN:
As early as the time of the organization of the county the two Baptist and the Methodist Episcopal churches were here with ministers and organized membership. The early ministers of the Old School or Predestination Baptist church were Abraham Buckles and John Buckles, of Delaware county, both of
whom preached at Hartford City, the latter for several years. Among the leading members at this place were Jacob Stahl and wife, Mrs. Abraham Stahl, Asher Van Cleve and wife, Adam Hart, Jacob Hart, Aaron McVicker, Jacob Covault, Abraham Hess, Abner Hess, Stillwell Truax and their wives and the brother and
sisters of Mrs. Truax, named Karney. A church was also formed northwest of Hartford City, the membership being in both Blackford and Grant counties, the society being known as the “Walnut Creek Anti-Mission Baptist Church.” Among its active supports were James Gillespie and Daniel Watson, both ministers, and Peter Bonham. James Baldridge and others from a distance also preached in this county, and William N. Buckles, a son of John, who resides near Mill Grove, has for a great many years exercised the functions of a minister in this denomination.

NOTES: I don't believe that the above informaton about Abraham being a minister is correct, nor the wife and children. The 1850 Census of Fairfield Twp., , Tippicanoe, Indiana, says that Abraham is 39 (which he would be 51 or 52), was a Carpenter (not minister), and was born in Indiana. And it lists Elizabeth as his wife, age 35, born in NJ, with the above children listed. I do not believe that this is the same Abraham BUCKLES. Joyce Skaggs GUEST 26 Feb 2003.
