The Alta Heiser Collection Index Vol. 4, January 1, 1948 & December 26, 1951. There is a record that James Scott and William Robeson, as trustees of the Concord congregation, paid Robert Lytle $20. toward the meetinghouse erected on the ground he gave from this farm for a church and burial plot. The folks up that way of the Associate Reform faith were too far from the church in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. Major William Robeson’s daughter Maria married James Woods. Their farm was between Darrtown and Collinsville, Butler County, Ohio. Their daughter, Mary Ann Irwin, after moving to Indiana often was homesick for the old Four Mile community. One of her letters, in which she spoke about the time “when we all went to the old log church, an undivided family”, thus told that this was a log structure.

The Alta Heiser Collection Index Vol. 4, January 1, 1948 & December 26, 1951. Many churches, except Quaker, in Butler County, Ohio. The Associate Reformed people later known as United Presbyterian, came early to Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio and united with Presbyterians in building Hamilton's first church. Many of this denomination were on Clear Creek in Warren County, Ohio, some of whom scattered over into Butler County, Ohio chiefly in Milford township. This church is spoken as having been on Four Mile Creek. In that day, the fork known as Seven Mile Creek now must still have been called Four Mill, for this was the Concord Associate Reformed church. Robesons, Robinsons, Irwins, and Woodses, all living up that way, were members of the Associate Reformed church.
