    history...  looks like Wynnjust passed through, too
    As is elsewhere stated (see general history), there is authentic
    testimony that several white men were settled at or near Turkey-Foot in
    
    
    
    
    
    
    1768. The names of these pioneers were Henry Abrahams, Ezekiel Dewitt,
    James Spencer, Benjamin Jennings, John Cooper, Ezekiel Hickman, I John
    Enslow, Henry Enslow
    and Benj. Pursley. l
    The colony which founded the Jersey Baptist church came From New Jersey
    
    
    
    
    
    
    to Turkey-Foot about 1774. This colony consisted of fifteen or twenty
    families, more or less intimately connected by ties of relationship and
    
    
    
    
    
    
    intermarriage.
    The early settlers, aside from the NewJersey colony, came mainly from
    Maryland and Virginia, following what was then a well-defined route of
    travel, the old Turkey-Foot road. This road came down White's creek to
    the Casselman, which it crossed near Harnedsville, crossed the Hog Back
    
    
    
    
    
    
    where Ursina now is, thence onward across Laurel Hill creek where the old
    stockade stood, and up the Lick river to Stewart's crossing, near
    Connellsville.
    Turkey-Foot Baptist Church. --- This organization, which ismore commonly
    known as the Jersey Baptist church, is the oldest Baptistchurch west of
    
    
    
    
    
    
    the Allegheny mountains. It is the oldest church of any kind in Somerset
    county, and perhaps' the oldest in Southwestern Pennsylvania. For many
    years after its organization, Maryland and Virginia settlers were among
    
    
    
    
    
    
    itsmembers. while Sandv Creek Glades, Virginia, formed a portion of its
    
    
    
    
    
    
    parish.The Turkey-Foot church is the parent of all the Baptist churches

    exact copy of page seven of the minutes of the Turkey-Foot Baptist
    church:ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ "The minutes of the proceedings of the church
