"Christopher Harris, a son of the old Kentucky pioneer Christopher Harris and
his first wife, Mary Dabney, was born in Va. and in Albemarel Co. md Elizabeth
Grubbs, a daughter of Higgison Grubbs, a Madison Co., Ky pioneer. Christopher
Harris was a minister in the Primitive Bap. Church.
Excerpt from A. C. Quisenberry's History:
"whilst on the move from Va to Ky, in Dec 1780, at Holston, Va, in the
re-organization there of the old Providence Church of Primitive Baptist
(Separatist), Mary Harris was one of the re-organizers, and there ;Elder Robert
Elkin was chosen pastor of the flock(The Mary Harris named, was not the wife of
Rev Christopher's father, for his first wife had been dead a long time.) She
is perhaps the Mary Harris who became the wife of William Woods.
On account of intelligence of various Indian incursions and molestations of
the infant settlements of the interior of Kentucky and especially of
Boonsborough, the destination of most of the company, this organization rested
at Holston until 1783, where they in the time rasied three crops of corn, then
in a body moved on the Craigs Station of Gilbert's Creek, in what is Lincoln,
Ky, where they remained until Nov 12, 1785, when a minor part of the church
departed for South western Ky and the Major protion moved on to the waters of
Lower Howards Creek, in what is Clark Co., Ky not very far from Boonsborough,
where new Church officers were elected and the organization named Howards Creek
Church, afterwards Providence. In 1787 constructed of logs a house of worship,
probably the first house of worship built by white settlers on Ky soil."
