Elk Presbytery and Logan Presbytery stricken off from Cumberland Presbytery.

April 8, 1813:
"WHEREAS, This Cumberland Presbytery have made every reasonable effort to be reunited to the general Presbyterian Church; and, whereas, from the extent of our bounds, the local situation of our members, their number, etc., it is inconvenient to do business in but one Presbytery; and, whereas, the constitution of a Synod would be desirable, and we trust of good consequences in various respects, and particularly as a tribunal having appellant jurisdiction,

Resolved, therefore, by this Cumberland Presbytery, that a part of the present Cumberland Presbytery shall be, and are hereby directed to constitute a Presbytery known as the name of the Elk Presbytery. The boundaries are as follows, to-wit: Beginning at the mouth of Duck river, thence a due North course to the top of the Tennessee ridge, thence eastwardly along the top of said ridge to Cumberland mountain, thence South to Tennessee river, thence easterly, southwardly, and westwardly to undefined boundaries; to be composed of the following members, to-wit: the Rev. Messrs. William McGee, Samuel King, James B. Porter, Robert Bell, and Robert Donnell; to meet at Mount Carmel meeting-house on the first Tuesday in August next. Mr. McGee (or in case of his absence, Mr. Bell) is hereby directed to open Presbytery by a sermon. The following persons shall be considered under the direction of said Presbytery (to-wit, Elk Presbytery): John Carnahan, James Stewart, and Elisha Price, when constituted. Also, that another part of the present members of this Cumberland Presbytery shall be, and are hereby directed to constitute a Presbytery to be known by the name of Logan Presbytery; to be composed of the following members, to-wit: the Rev. Messrs. Finis Ewing, William Harris, Alexander Chapman, and William Barnett; to meet on the fifty Tuesday in August next at Red River meeting-house, Logan county, Ky., the Presbytery to be opened by a sermon to be delivered by Mr. Finis Ewing, or Mr. Harris, in case of his absence. The following persons shall be considered under the direction of said Logan Presbytery when constituted, to-wit: Philip McDaniel [sic: Philip McDonnold], Robert McCorkle, Green P. Rice, John Barnett, and Daniel Boe [sic: Daniel Buie]; the boundaries of said Presbytery to be as follows; Beginning at the mouth of Duck river, thence a direct line to Cumberland river, so as to include the settlements of Yellow creek, thence up Cumberland river to the mouth of Half-Pone creek, thence a direct course to the Kentucky state line, where the old Kentucky road crosses said line, yet so as to leave Karr's Creek society in the bounds of said Presbytery, leaving out what is called the Ridge society; thence eastwardly to undefined boundaries (it is understood, however, that the counties of Cumberland and Wayne, in Kentucky, are not to be considered in the bounds of said Presbytery), thence northward and westward to undefined boundaries from each point. It is expressly understood, however, that lines striking off from said bounds of said Logan Presbytery are to include William and John Barnett and Philip McDaniel [sic: Philip McDonnold], yet not so as to include any society in the Cumberland Presbytery, or territory to form one on, and it is hereby understood that all the congregations, etc., within the natural or prescribed boundaries of either of the Presbyteries shall be considered under the care of their respective Presbyteries; and it is hereby expressly directed and mutually agreed, that said Elk and Logan Presbyteries meet this Presbytery with their documents on the first Wednesday in October at the Beech meeting-house, in Sumner county, and State of Tennessee, for the express purpose of constituting a Synod; and it is hereby directed that the committee appointed to draw up a complete though succinct account of the rise, doctrines, etc., of the Cumberland Presbytery, make their report to the Synod when constituted. And it is hereby ordered that Messrs. Bell, Kirkpatrick, and Ewing divide in three equal parts, as near as may be, all the books and money belonging to the Cumberland Presbytery Library, and allot to this Cumberland Presbytery one part, to the members intended to compose the Elk Presbytery one part, and to the members intended to compose the Logan Presbytery the other part, to be disposed of in their several Presbyteries according to the institution of the library.

Ordered, that the name of the Cumberland Presbytery be altered, and be hereafterward called by the name of the Nashville Presbytery.
