The Mississippi Conference of the Methodist Church, which included Alabama, met in
Washington, MS in December 1825 and announced a new "Marengo Circuit" in the AL
District, which included Marengo County and parts of Dallas and Wilcox Counties. The new circuit minister for 1826 was Rev. John Collier, a native of VA. During his ministry and that of his successors, the circuit was enlarged to include parts of Sumter, Greene, Perry and Clarke Counties. Later in 1826, Collier moved on and was replaced by Rev. J.G. Jones and, mid-year in 1827, was assisted by Rev. T.S. Abernethy in this growing circuit. The most prominent families in the Canebrake Region of the Marengo circuit in that year were the Cades, Easleys, Glovers, Gwinns, Bennetts, and Christians. An early church was the Mt. Zion Church in Old Spring Hill, where the Boyd, Curtis, Grayson, James, McAlister, McCarty, Tagart and Wilson families lived. In 1828, the ministers were Revs. T.S. Abernathy and J. A. Cotton; For 1829- Hugh McPhail & John Bilbo; For 1830- D.D. Brewer & Joseph P. Sneed; For 1831- E.V. LeVert & Ewell Petty; For 1832- Daniel Monaghan & Hazelwood B.
