LITTLE ZION
Little Zion Church was organized on the second Saturday in July 1836, at the home of Abraham Dale, in Independence township, Macon County, with seventeen charter members, viz., Abraham Dale, Averilla r Dale, Phillip Dale, Nancy Dale, John Smoot, Elizabeth Smoot, Charles Hatfield, Sarah Hatfield, William Shain, Catharine Shain, James Riley, Susan Riley, Thomas Williams, Elder William Sears, Jane Sears,(all from Silver Creek Church); and James Cochran and Anna Cochran(from Dover Church). The presbytery was composed of Elders James Ratliff and John Buster.
For several months meetings were held in the homes of members, but in October 1840 they agreed to construct a log house. The church first united with the Mt. Pleasant Association, but was a charter me mber of the Yellow Creek Association in 1845. In July 1879 the church exchanged its former property with a certain James Meeks for five acres a little more than a mile northwest of the original site. A frame building was constructed here between 1879 and 1882.

Gross, Martin Bloyd, Theodore C. Doggett, John Taylor, Noah Bunch, Fred Crawford, Robert Epperson, Roy Sunderland, Lon Epperson, and Charles Bealmer (up to 1936).
