| Line Creek Baptist Church
Deed |
Perry and Catherine Bullock gave the church the land where the Line Creek
Church Cemetery is located (and where the church building was until it burned
in 2001) on 24 Apr 1880. It was on land Perry had purchased from David R.
McKinney on 8 Jan 1872, who had bought it (and more) from Holbert McClure on 7
Jul 1857. McKinney's tract included the northwest portion of the
Buckner survey.
There is no record of this deed in either the Pulaski or Rockcastle County
courthouses, at least under the expected Perry or Catherine Bullock, grantees.
It was, however, acknowleged by the Pulaski County clerk, Charles Porch, 12 Jun
1880.
The last part of the deed reads: "But it is understood that if the party
of the second part [the church] should ever move the meeting house off of said
land & it helt no longer for a meeting house this deed of conveyance is
void & the land fall back the party of the first part [Perry and Catherine
Bullock] of his heirs. In testimony thereof there hands & seal on this the
day & date aforesaid. It shall be for the benyfit of the Baptist Church
& no other denomination."
