New Harmony Church situated on the Middle Fork of Goose Creek, Macon County, Tennessee
They were constituted an independent church, in the above named schoolhouse, on Saturday before the second Sunday in August, 1848, by Elders W. C. Mransford and Henry Roark and Deacons Wilson T. Meador, Womack Parker and Stephen Holland. They adopted the Confession of Faith of Salem Association, with Church Covenant and Rules of Decorum. They adopted the name of Middle Fork of Goose Creek. After two years, they moved one and a half miles down the creek and built a log house of worship at the fork of Adams and Bear creeks. They retained the original name until 1871, when they adopted the name of Harmony. In 1874 their membership had drifted up Adams Fork and they moved three miles up this creek, where the church now stands, and built a new log house and called it New Harmony.
