From the Coffee Creek Baptist Association by J.C. Tibbets, published in 1883

    In the spring of 1824, a few brethern and sisters residing in Graham Township, Jefferson County, decided to call for a council from the various Baptist churches in the vicinity, with a view of being constituted into a church. Their invitations were responded to as follows: From White River--A. Chambers, J. Wheatly, M. Monroe; Scaffold Lick--Elder W. Blankenship, R. Chasteen, Gary Davis; Coffee Creek--Elder Thomas Hill, Sr., Thomas Hill, Jr., John Hopkins; which council convened the 9th day of June, the year named, and organized by selecting Elder Thomas Hill, Sr., Moderator, and Thomas Hill, Jr., Clerk.
    Wm. Whitsitt, Nancy Whitsitt, Abraham Walton, Polly Walton, Archibald Cosby, Malinda Cosby, R.M. Cosby, Wm. Admire and wife, Elizabeth Nay and Fanny Sage were, with usual ceremonies, recognized as the "Lick Branch Church;" a "deer lick" in a branch near by, giving rise to the name.
    On adjournment of council the little church proceeded to business, electing Moderator and Clerk, and extending a call to Elder Thomas Hill, Sr., to become their pastor, who accepted and immediately commenced pastoral work. Initiatory steps were also taken towards building a meeting-house.
PASTORS
    Elder Thomas Hill, the first pastor, served a little more than a year, when Elder Thomas Hill, Jr.--just ordained--took charge of the church, continuing nine years; Since that time, the pastors in succession have been: Elders J.M. Cox eight years; Thomas Hill, Jr., four years; J.B. Swincher, three years; J.M. Cox again one year, W.Y. Monroe, three years; Thomas Hill, Jr., two years; W.Y. Monroe, five years; W.B. Lewis, seven years; John Chambers, one year; W.B. Lewis, one year; G.W. Thompson, four years; Allan Hill, one year, when Elder Thompson again served one year. The present pastor is Elder A. Jackson, recently from Kentucky.
DEACONS AND CLERKS
    Wm. Whitsitt, Abraham Walton, W.M. Baxter, Harrison Nay, Simeon Piper, Wm. Landon, John Tobias and Dudley Walton have been the deacons. Clerks--R.M. Cosby served five years; Bennet Nay, twenty-eight years; Samuel Nay, two years; E.F. Hamil, seven years; Wm. McClanahan, ten years; G.W. Dodd, three years; and the present Clerk, T.N. Cosby, three years. Address: Graham, Jefferson County , Ind.
BUILDINGS AND LOCATION
     Lick Branch is located on the Madison and Deputy gravel road, about four miles east from the latter place. The present building is a substantial frame, 35X45 feet, with cupola and bell, and was erected in 1850. Previous to that time, a hewed log-house was occupied, built in the fall of 1824, and situated about on-half mile north of the present location.
