    It has been said that Esquire David Tomlinson was the first mover in having the church built; he lived nearby and only raised a moderate family of 14 children, had a farm and store, and quite a number of helpers of men and women, both black and white, and as he had to come to Oxford to church, when the old church stood up by the cemetery, he had to provide quite a number of vehicles to bring them. He would drive up to Southford (Slap Jack as it was called then) and down the main street through Oxford center, and attend two services and return by the old Church road, or by the old Doctor Dutton Road. The road from the Bennet Perry place to Governors Hill was not built until 1830 and as the "Colored Folk" had to go too, there was one load of them, which concluded the rear of the procession. Esquire Tomlinson was once state senator. He died in 1822, aged 61 years.
