At first the meetings of the church were held at private houses, most commonly in the home of Thomas Hamblen or at the house of William Butler. By 1837 or 1838 a log meeting house was built where the Rheem Cemetery later was located (Range 30W, Township 47, Section 25). At this time, however, Thomas and family moved south to the new State of Arkansas. | At first the meetings of the church were held at private houses, most commonly in the home of Thomas Hamblen or at the house of William Butler.

| − | Arkansas had been admitted to the Union in 1836. It was probably in 1837 that Thomas and his family moved south, first appearing in a Tax List for Madison County in 1837. Shortly | + | Arkansas had been admitted to the Union in 1836. It was probably in 1837 that Thomas and his family moved south, first appearing in a Tax List for Madison County in 1837 on page 10. On page 9 of this same Tax list we see Francis Dunn and John Dunn. Shortly after this, Thomas Hamblen settled in [[Franklin County, Arkansas|Franklin County]]. The Indians had been removed from this area by 1828, and then settlers from Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri began to pour into that area. Thomas Hamblen (this spelling) is listed on the assessor's book of 1839 for Franklin County. However, it appears that Thomas located there by 1838, because his third known child, Elizabeth M., was born there in 1838. |
