Actually, Eaton's Church was a continuation of Dutchman's Creek Church [1772-1789] which broke up during the Revolutionary War; perhaps the membership was split between whigs and tories.

About the formation of Dutch Creek Church:

"October the fifth ye 1772--
At the Constitution of the reagular Baptist Church in North Carolina Roan County in the Forke of the Yadkin there was ten members. Their names are as followeth

William Cook, the minister
James Tompkins -
Ebenezer Fairchild -
Abraham and Triphena Adams -
Thomas Easteb -
Susanna Easteb -
David Reavis - Jemima Reavis -
Jesse Reavis

There has been added sence Mary Easteb by letter November the 22 year 1772

Elesabath Tompkins added by letter

Veara Bra added 1772 by letter

Benjamin Cutbeard added by baptism on the seaventh day of March 1773 fifteen members in the whole.
