In 1741 ***East Nottingham, or Rock Presbyterian Church, was erected. A considerable number of Presbyterians located within the limits of Nottingham Monthly Meeting. This Church became a factor in the religious community, in directing men to a higher life, and Friends no longer were the only Church for the people's patronage.Monthly Meeting held 21st of 3d month, 1748: "Bush River preparative meeting requests the assistance of this meeting respecting the settling of a place to build a new meeting house at Bush River, the old one being much out of repairs, and no title to the ground on which it stands.
** James Brown, Joshua Brown, William Reynolds, James Rigbie, William Brown and John Churchman, or so many of them as can, are therefore appointed to give their company and advice to the affair. They report, 16th of 5th month, as follows: 'Most of the Friends appointed to assist and advise the Friends of Bush Creek concerning the new meeting house, reported that they were there, and gave them the best advice they were capable of, and that the Friends seemed pretty unanimous in their agreement on the place where to build.'''East Nottingham Meeting House was destroyed by fire about 1748, but no positive date is on record. The most positive information of the destruction is found in '' The Life and Travels of John Churchman." He thus writes: "As I sat in a weekday meeting in the winter of 1748, which was held in a private house (our meeting house being burnt some time before)."
