Request for information:

I found Mount Ruhama Church with Maiden Creek nearby, located near Oliver's
Crossroads in Catawba County, but I am puzzled about which Killian family
owned land around that Church and when. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks,
Gene Killian

Killian's Meeting house was one of the county's origianl German
congregations. The land surrounding Mount Ruhama was originally owned by the
Killian's but was later bought by the Summits, explaining why John Summit
(son of Jacob Summit), Pinkney Summit, Isaac Lanford Summit, and Pomeroy
Hagler Summit all owned land on the waters of Maiden Creek surrounding Mount
Ruhama.
