Description


A single church organized in Carroll County, Indiana in 1828 evolved into multiple denominations including the Brethren Church, Church of God, Church of the Brethren, Dunkard Brethren, Old Brethren, Old German Baptist Brethren, and Old (Order) German Baptist by 1928. The Delphi Journal reported: "The Dunkard people are as fine a lot of people as one will find and in every community should be treasured highly. Carroll County is proud of her settlement of these people, and they have long ago established the reputation of being the best, truest, most accommodating and industrious of all people." Some of those people included the Clingenpeel, Cripe, Eikenberry, Flora, Harter, Kingery, Kuns, Landis, Metzger, Miller, Myer, Snoeberger, Ulery/Ulrey, Wagoner, and Wise families.
