notes: Brookover lists it in the April 1847 Strang Conference, but the original reports in the Chronicles of Voree and Gospel Herald do not list any branches for that conference or even mention branch reports.

notes: Not sure of the relationship between the Poplar Creek and Prairieville Branches during the Strang Era. Which included A.H. White and members in Brookfield Township? White represented both branches at the October 1846 conference, so they were clearly separate.
