Photo dates about 1900 – all the J. W. <strong>Wallace</strong> siblings are in photo Corinth Methodist Church (written by Blanche Tuten) The Corinth Methodist Church, which is located between Scotts Hill and Saltillo, dates as far back as the early 1830’s. It first came into existence after my great, great, great grandmother, Mary Dougherty Creasy with her four sons, Stephen, John, Jeremiah and Ambros Ranson and two daughters, Judy and Polly, traveled in a covered wagon from Goose Creek, Virginia to Decatur County about the year 1830. They were believed to be the first settlers in the Thurman community; therefore, more than likely they founded the church. Corinth Church was a circuit church with services being held every first and third Sundays. Most <strong>of</strong> the families that attend Corinth are direct descendents <strong>of</strong> the first believed settlers <strong>of</strong> the Thurman Community. Some <strong>of</strong> these families that help give their time and effort to keep Corinth Church strong are Pafford Thomison and her children, Genie Mapul Wyatt, Oneava Mitchell, Faye McBride, the Tommy Wyatt family, Betty Kincannon Montgomery and family, Maggie Kincannon, the Gilbert Wyatt family, the Charles D. Creasy family and others. <strong>Wallace</strong>’s listed as early settlers <strong>of</strong> Beacon Community in Decatur County This town, according to Mrs. Younger, was first known as Moray. When the Tennessee Midland Railroad Company line came through Decatur County, the town's name was changed to Beacon. Early settlers included Chumneys, <strong>Wallace</strong>s, Longs, Hayes, McCormicks, Douglas, O'Guinns, Keens, and Myracles.
