    Source Text: In this history of the Lafayette and Garretsburg Precincts of Christian County, Kentucky which was edited by William Henry Perrin and published in 1884, by F. A. Battey Publishing, GEORGE GILMOUR and his father JAMES GILMOUR are cited as "ruling elders" of the "Blue Water Presbyterian Church" located near "Sinking Spring" in Christian County, Kentucky. The text is located on pages 294 and 295 and is as follows: "Thechurch history of Garrettsburg and Lafayette Precincts dates back almost to the settlement of the whites... The following sketch of the old Presbyterian Church was furnished to us by Mr. J. A. Boyd, and will be of considerable interest: Between the years 1814 and 1816, a large number of families, including the Stevensons, Sherrills, McKenzies, GILMOURS, Ewings, Boyds, BRONAUGHS, Callisons etc... settled in Christian County, Ky. Having the blood of Scotch Covenanters in their veins, they brought with them the Presbyterian faith and formed what was probably the first Presbyterian Church south of Green River, in the southern part of Christian County, near where is known Sinking Spring, located on the farm now owned by Benjamin Coleman, about the year 1817 and 1818. The congregation had no regular place of worship, but met usually at a schoolhouse near Sinking Spring, and sometimes at the farmhouse of its respective members. It was organized under the pastoral superintendence of Rev. William E. Stuart, and his frist Ruling Elders were JAMES GILMOUR and James Stevenson, with about thirty members. One of the Ruling Elders, JAMES GILMOUR, was probably the first Presbyterian who settled in southern Kentucky, his church membership extending through more than sixty years. He died in his nintieth year in 1834. After an existence of about twelve years the church, then known as the Union Society of Sinking Spring, built a log church at Blue Water about one mile south of Sinking Spring, which was called Blue Water Church, and was solemnly dedicated to the service of God on the second Sunday in May 1830, with the Rev. Thomas Caldwell as Pastor, and Robert Callison, JAMES GILMOUR, James Stevenson, Jacob Sherrill and GEORGE GILMOUR as Ruling Elders and Deacons, and with a membership of thirty five persons. The church prospered under the pastoral care of Rev. Mr. Caldwell until his death, which occured Nov. 5, 1843. After Mr. Caldwell's death, Rev. W. D. Jones became pastor, with W. McKenzie, John Ewing and William L. Stevenson as additional members of the session. Subsequently, Moses Boyd, Dr. J. D. Metcalf and T. P. World were added to the corps of Elders. The church records, which are vague and badly kept, do not show how long Mr. Jones retained his pastorate, but he was succeeded by Rev. William Hamilton in 1837. About the year 1831, a new church was erected in Lafayette, and the congregation at Blue Water removed to that point, where they continued to worship under the pastoral care of Rev. William Hamilton, Rev. B. H. McCown, Rev. F. G. Strahan, Rev. Fraser, Rev. S. W. Luckett, Rev. T. J. Bracken and Rev W. Duncan, until within the last few years, when the church house became unsafe and was sold. The proceeds, together with general subscriptions on the part of many excellent epople, were invested in the new church house in which we now worship. The records of this church organization show that its highest membership was in 1850, and numbered seventy-eight persons, and its lowest in 1873, and numbered eighteen persons. Being first known as the Union Society of Sinking Spring, next as Blue Water Church, next as Lafayette Church, it is now to be known as 'McKenzie's Chapel or Kirk', in honor of W. W. McKenzie, who was present at the organization and who has been a member of it since 1829..."
