Churches of Indian-Kentuck Region By Robert W. Scott © 1999 Cross Plains Baptist Church (Brown Twp., Ripley Co.) The Cross Plains Baptist Church was founded May 18, 1843 when ten men and eleven women joined and associated with the Laughery Baptist Association. The History of Switzerland Co. (p. 1162) reports that Cross Plains grew out of Brushy <strong>For</strong>k Baptist Church, which also produced Cross Plains' first minister, the Rev. Robert Stevenson who was ordained at Brushy <strong>For</strong>k and who preached in so many churches in Southeastern Indiana. At this point, Stevenson had not yet been ordained. The action is reflected in the Brushy <strong>For</strong>k minutes of the third Saturday in April 1843 which report that "the church granted Several members of dismission namely, Augustus Lathrop and wife, Henry Reed and wife and Samuel Reed and wife and Gerua D. Grover. Second the church has agreed to send six of her members to the Cross planes to aid in Constituting of a church namely John Mathis, John Christie, Robert Stevenson, Alfred Miles, Joseph Voyles, Wm Wicuff."
