The Presbyterian is the oldest of the three churches in the town. It was organized in 1825 largely from the membership of old Cub Creek, but it had been a preaching point(Submitted on December 13, 2024, by Mark Parker of Hickory, North Carolina.)for the ministers of Briery and Cub Creek, under the name of the Village Congregation for a long time previous to its organization, and a building known as the Brick Church had been built, back in the days when all the land in the village belonged to the Reads. There is no deed to it on record. It was probably given by the Read family as a Meeting House for the Presbyterian before there was any provision in the law permitting Dissenters to hold land for church purposes. The old Brick Church was destroyed by fire and the church lot, and does not belong to the Presbyterians exclusively. It was conveyed in 1840 by Winslow Robinson to Dr. Wm. H. Patillo and Leven B. Hagerman in trust that they and their successors, to be appointed by the County Court, should hold it for the sole and exclusive purpose of a burying ground for the village forever.Photographed by Mark Parker, December 12, 20242.
