Note 1779:
Major William Vance was a leading member of this church. He selected the site for erecting the first church building during the summer of 1779. The first building was made of unhewed logs and was 26x22 feet.  In 1784 a second building was erected of hewed logs and was 60x30 feet, a few years later they added a gallery to the church building. After William's death on 20-Apr-1803 this church burned down and within the same year a stone building was erected with funds raised by the women of the church.

Note 1788:
Cross Creek was included in the Washington County boundaries during the early settling of the area.  It then was included in the Lancaster County boundaries. Also the name was changed from Kings Creek to Cross Creek.
