Such men as John Smith, William Morton, Jeremiah Vardeman and Jacob Creath, Jr., all under the influence of the restoration movement, were the leading spirits in this meeting. The report of the action of churches with reference to the resolution was made a year later. The result showed that seven churches voted to retain the constitution, six voted to abolish it. At the meeting in 1830 these six churches were dropped from the Association, and both the North District and Tate’s Creek messengers were rejected. In 1829 Tate’s Creek Association was under the controlling influence of the restoration movement. A minority of orthodox Baptist churches withdrew and called a meeting for the month of June, 1830, at which they drew up a bill of errors against certain preachers and churches of the Association. This Association was composed of delegates from ten of the twenty-six churches. They organized and proceeded to meet as the “Tate’s Creek Association”, and resolved to cut off correspondence with the churches that “tolerated the heresy of Campbellism”. Thus we see that the majority of this Association was in line with the effort to restore the “ancient order of things”. The Franklin and Elkhorn Associations were, however, not friendly to the movement, though there was a strong and influential minority committed to those principles. In 1829 Franklin Association adopted decrees rejecting as heretical all those who sought to return to apostolic Christianity and all churches were warned not to harbor any such errors. The Elkhorn Association at its meeting in 1830 dropped from further correspondence two churches, and refused to recognize the messengers from the North District, thus excluding from Baptist fellowship eighteen churches and 1,427 members. The Russell Creek and South Concord Associations took action against “Campbellite heresy”, the latter passing a resolution advising all churches to lock their doors against “the followers of Alexander Campbell, who deny the agency of the Spirit”. Very few of the Kentucky Baptist Associations escaped the influence of the effort to return to primitive Christianity.
