The Early History of the Kedron Society

 

The land was given in 1841 by James and Rebecca S. Coleman and was recorded in Murfreesboro, Tennessee in 1845. His brother Archer Coleman was one of the five trustees.

The first church building was a log building built between 1842-1845 and was located south of the present building. Sometime before 1875 the present sanctuary was built. About 1900 the church building reversed directions, having a new entrance in the eastern wall. This change was caused by a change in the road.

The deed states that the land be used to erect a building to be used for a house of worship for the use of the "Methodist Episcopal Church" in the United States of America.

The first meetings started about 1838 (called the "Methodist Society) in the homes of James Coleman, William A. Coleman, Joel Lee, Thomas Bennett and perhaps Joseph Adams, John Nance, and Jessie Pearson as these last four were named trustees along with William A. Coleman.
