History of the Quaker Meadows and Pleasant Gardens churches
Burke County North Carolina formed in 1777 from Rowan County. The Quaker Meadows and Pleasant Gardens Presbyterian churches stand on the Catawba River near Morganton. Fame Templeton represented them at a 1784 Presbytery meeting. Rev. John McKannie Wilson was ordained around 1795. Chauncey Eddy served as pastor after 1801. The current Quaker Meadows church dates from about 1852, and a 1914 visit included an installation sermon for the new pastor by Rev. C. E. Gress with Isaac Avery present.
