The Baptist members of the Shady Grove congregation had organized their
church one day previous to the date of the deed made by Dr. Stephen Cady to the
community church, as the church records now list Grove Level's organization as
October 18, 1852. However, they worshiped in the community church of Shady Grove
until August 11, 1874, when Duke Richardson by gift and donation deeded a
portion of land lying immediately in the forks of the Cleveland and Benton roads
to the Grove Level Baptist church (Book I, p. 134).

   Here was constructed their building. On June 9, 1906, Victor C. Richardson
deeded to Jos. G. Robertson, A. P. Dantzler and W. H. Isbill, deacons, one-half
acre lying east of one acre already purchased for the consideration of six
dollars (Book T, p. 335).

   The first members of Grove Level were Duke Richardson and wife Emily, Henry
Brooker and wife Jane, Jacob Dantzler and wife Susan, William Sapp and wife
Sarah, Martin Workman and wife Nancy Ann, William Russell and wife Cyntha Ann,
Eliza Ann Moore, R. Morgan and Matilda Morgan.

   Among pastors who served Grove Level are: Wm. A. Wright, J. M. Brittain, J.
M. Gambrell, J. M. Stansberry, Martin Isbill, H. D. Gilbert, W. C. McCall, I. M.
Roebuck, H. M. Jones, M. L. Clontz, Isaac Watkins, J. M. Stone, J. T. Nichols, Lee Taylor, Charlie
Maples, J. A. Maples, J. E. Morgan, H. A. Winstead, J. 0. Dantzler, J. W. Sosby
