In an area settled predominantly by Quakers, Jonah’s Run Baptist Church arose from a comingling of faiths when the children and neighbors of Daniel Collett, an Episcopalian and Revolutionary War private, and his wife Mary Haines Collett, a Quaker from Virginia, were ministered to by a Baptist preacher, became Baptists, and started the church in 1838. Levi Lukens, a Quaker from Pennsylvania by way of Virginia, bought the land where the church stands in 1812 and sold it in 1839 to a founder of the congregation. Reflecting local Quaker meetinghouses, the church had separate entrances for men and women and a partition dividing the sanctuary. Members of the congregation also took prominent religious roles, including Howard McCune, moderator of the Clinton Baptist Association and president of the Ohio Baptist Convention’s state board, and Anne Cossum, a missionary in China from 1920 to 1927. The Underwood Farms Rural Historic District preserves 280 acres of landscapes and buildings portraying rural life in Clinton County from about 1838 to 1955, including the Amos-Elihu-Daniel Underwood and Zephaniah Underwood farms, the Zephaniah and Matilda Underwood house known as the Tower House, and Jonah’s Run Baptist Church. The Underwoods were known for commercial apple orchards while also raising various crops and livestock, and the Zephaniah and Matilda Underwood farm includes a circa 1900 brick fruit storage building insulated by sawdust. The family also produced community leaders, including Matilda Downing Underwood, a Quaker minister active in the temperance and women’s suffrage movements, and her sister Maria Downing Romine, a medical doctor in a pioneering career for women of her time.
