The Church of Christ at Bagdad in Jackson County, Tennessee was established prior to 1844. According to a church registry dating from 1830, originally belonging to Major Thomas Draper, but in the possession of H. C. Clark in 1936, it is likely that the church was extant as early as 1830, and possibly earlier. The following, and all subsequent listings below were transcribed from the Historical Records Project (project number 65-44-1465) in 1936. This information is currently housed at the Tennessee State Library and Archives, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee.
