I also have a book called “History of Middle Tennessee Baptists” by J. H. Grime. Indian Creek Baptist Church is mentioned on page 145.

Under the chapter called, “Church Sketches”
Indian Creek
This church is situated on the waters of Indian Creek, some eight miles north of Smithville, Dekalb County, Tenn. This church was gathered through the labors of Elders Nathaniel Hays and Archamac Bass, and is an offspring of Salem Baptist Church.
This church was constituted November 1844 with seven members, and united the next year with Salem Association when convened with Hickman’s Creek Church. They numbered at this time twenty members. They first took the name of Caney Fork Church and changed their name to Indian Creek in 1848.
This church has had a fair degree of success, but for the want of records we can give but little of the details.
Pastors: The following, with perhaps others, have served this church as pastor: Elder Henry Fite, Elder J.C. Brien, 1881-83; Elder William Simpson, 1883-1885, Elder J. C. Brien, 1885-88; Elder J. M. Stewart, 1888-91; Elder A. J. Brien, 1891-92; Elder William Simpson, 1892-93; Elder D. C. Taylor, 1893-96; Elder D. W. Taylor, 1896-97; Elder A.J. Waller, 1897-98; Elder J.M. Stewart, 1898-99; Elder D.C. Taylor, 1899-00; Elder D.W. Taylor, 1900-01; Elder W. E. Wauford, 1901.
In the latter part of the seventies a division occurred in the church, which resulted in a few members withdrawing and organizing a Freewill Baptist Church near by. This new fad seemed to proper for a while under the leadership of one Elder Curtis, but we hear it has finally gone out.
