The Register of Births indicates that the "Baptist Church" was both the place of birth and the father's residence. Interestingly, the entries for two other persons (Isaac Hubbs and Bertha Harris) list the "Universal Church" as both the place of birth and the father's residence. The Universal Church would be an abbreviation for the Universalist Church on Fork Ridge, and there is a Baptist Church a few miles away also on Fork Ridge. It strikes me as odd that these three individuals have these entries pertaining to churches when everyone else has more typical locations for a birth, such as the ridge name or town - perhaps more info will turn up later.^1,2
