Batsell Methodist Church Michael Pittman, a large landowner,
donated a four acre
tract, shaped in a triangle, to be used for the Batsell Methodist
Church
building and cemetery on October 6, 1854.
The deed states the boundary of the tract of land starting “at the spring in the center of Camp Branch of Mill Creek on the line between Pitman and B. F. Savage at Savage’s northeast corner, thence in a southeasterly direction up the center of Camp Branch to a chickapin oak marked c. c., thence due west to a stake on the line between Pittman and Savage, thence due north along said line to the place of beginning, continuing four acres more or less.” Trustees of the Methodist Church were William Davenport, Edward Farris and Thomas Roots. It is possible that the church disbanded after the founding of Whitewright. KENTUCKY TOWN AND ITS
