The Windsor Township Baptist Association was organized in January 1818 by Elder William Davis with 35 members who met in homes, barns, and schoolhouses. After the death of the six-year-old granddaughter of Samuel and Tabitha Davis Henery, this plot by the river was laid out for a churchyard and deeded by John Henery in 1837. In 1838 a brick church was built at a cost of $1,000, and it served the community until the road and church were destroyed by the flood of 1913. More than 50 men from this area served in the Civil War. Buried here are 26 veterans of that war, four of the War of 1812, William Davis, a veteran of the American Revolution, Obadiah Brokaw, founder of Big Bottom State Memorial, and Captain Isaac Newton Hook, a river pilot at the age of ten and U.S. master of inland navigation from 1860 to 1873, who ran supplies on the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers for the Union Army. At Captain Hook’s death in 1906, the steamers Valley Gem, Zanesville, and Sonoma from Marietta landed passengers here for his funeral, called the largest ever held in the Muskingum Valley.
