In the early 1800’s, Clayborn Dalton built an arbor for public worship across the Mulberry River in Jackson County, and it was called Dalton’s Stand. In 1813, the church was moved to this side of the Mulberry River near the Maynard Cemetery. Rev. Anslem Anthony was the first pastor, serving from 1813 to 1855. He donated 2 1/2 acres of land for the present church with buildings and improvements on April 15, 1857. Another building was built about 1880 and stood until the present building was built in 1962.
