• Notes

  It was also in 1850 that Absalom Bainbridge Faulconer built a church building at Sheridan, sixteen years before the town wore that name and fully thirty years before it was incorporated. The earlier name for the church may have been the "Antiock" church because one reported in 1863 from Yamhill County having 25 members and the report was signed by "Faulconer." The church building was along the river on N.E. Main Street. Faulconer was a pioneer of 1846 and one historian says "he was a lifetime member of the Christian Church." Since churches following the model of the New Testament only acknowledge believer's baptism, we must modify the claim to say that he had been a Christian since childhood. The same was true of his brother Marcellus F. Faulconer and his wife Caroline. The families had moved to Sheridan from Kentucky, coming by way of the Applegate Trail through southern Oregon. After coming overland in 1846, A. B. Faulconer and his wife Mary Ann built a hotel for hospitality. They always entertained travelers at no cost and feeding them if they were present at meal time. The original church included Kitty Davis, A.B. and Mary Ann Faulconer, Marcellus and Caroline Faulconer, Thomas and Lucy Faulconer, Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Simpson and Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Simpson. When Mary Ann Faulconer died in 1854, A.B. married Mary Jane Trullinger, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth Trullinger of Rock Creek in Clackamas County. Other members before 1900 included Helen Burgess, Mr. and Mrs. Asa Childers, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Mr. Tip Graves, Mrs. Laughlin, Mr. and Mrs. James Morgan, Mrs. Payne, Mr. and Mrs. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. John Stanfield, Mrs. Stone and Mr. and Mrs. Turner. 1880 United States Federal Census <http://www.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=6742&enc=1> about Abslem B.
