The following is a list of members taken from the old church records
priorto 1900: EWER Hannah, Thomas G., Elizebeth, Nancy, Smith B.,
Catherine, Mary, T.J. (Tot), Leuella, Madison (Matt)
Thomas G. Ewer was born on a farm two miles west of Macy in 1844. This
verifies that the Ewer family was early settlers of the Macy area. His
baptism, which is recorded in the church record wasin 1859 at age 15.
This would lead one to believe that the Mud Creek Churchwas meeting at
that time.
