In the county-history sources
2,008 words on this townshipBiographical and Historical Record of Putnam County, Indiana .., published 1887 names this settlement in its chapter on Franklin Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.
The first church organization was effected by the Presbyterians, who at an early day held meetings at the house of George Pearey, on section 1, Monroe Township, but soon removed into a church on section 36, in Franklin. This congregation was under the pastoral charge of Rev. James II. Shields. The Presbyterians now have a house of worship and a good membership at Carpentersville. The Christian denomination next organized about the year 1827. Eiders Coombs, Ilaney, Harris and G rider were among their first preachers. Their present church edifice is located at Fincastle. The Regular Baptists were organized in 1829, at James Fiddler's house, by Rev. Nathan Keeney. They at present have a fair membership, who worship ina church-building on section 21. For some cause the Methodists did not push their organization into Franklin as early as into other townships of the county. Their history is, therefore, more meager than that of other denominations. They have a church at Carpentersviile where they are represented by a good membership. They have, also, a brick church at Fincastle, the finest edifice of the kind in the township.
