Gibson County, Tennessee Churches — A Records and Cemetery Index

Churches were often the first organized institution in a new Gibson County community, and their records — membership rolls, minutes, and the cemeteries attached to them — remain one of the richest sources for tracing a family before civil recordkeeping caught up. This page indexes that material across the county's towns.

Congregations referenced elsewhere in this archive include Pleasant Grove Presbyterian Church near Dyer, founded in 1848; Clear Creek Baptist and New Bethlehem Baptist churches, both established in 1851; Mt. Carmel C.P. Church, founded in 1852; and the Methodist and Baptist congregations in the town of Gibson, organized in 1867 and 1877 respectively. Church-affiliated cemeteries in and around these communities frequently hold burial information not recorded anywhere else.

Because church records were kept locally rather than centrally, coverage varies significantly by congregation and era. Cross-referencing a name found in a church record against this archive's obituary and census indexes for the same town often produces the fullest picture.
