SE of 34-1-18. Randolph Sullivan and James Atkins, JP. Knob Creek Church of Christ at Dukedom, Kentucky, was the first Restoration Church to use the name "Church of Christ". Some of the early settlers arriving in southern Graves County, Kentucky and northen Weakley County, Tennessee brought with them the teachings of Barton W. Stone and the "Christians Only" movement, and wanted to have a local church where they could worship. These settlers located John Parkhill from Calloway County, Kentucky and sent one of their members to summon him to help found the congregation. In June, 1834, Parkhill established the congregation, incorporating the "Christians Only" teachings of Stone and the "Reformed Baptist" teachings of Alexander Campbell, Stone and Campbell having merged their movements in 1832. The church was established in the home of member Simon Foy and his wife Charlotte Simms Foy, who had immigrated to the area in about 1828 from Limestone County, Alabama, and whose homestead was on Knob Creek, near the present Clinard farm. The first church building was erected in about 1845, south of the Foy homestead on the border between Kentucky and Tennessee, about a mile west of where the present building stands. Although no longer located on Knob Creek, the congregation retained the original name. This was the first Restorationist congregation to use the name "Church of Christ", a name now in use by hundreds of Restorationist congregations worldwide. The founding members were Simon and Charlotte Foy, their daughters Charlotte and Elizabeth, their sons James and William, John Johnson and his wife Elizabeth, and Uell Olive.
