From Kaufman County History, Vol I, page 15:
"Dr J B Daniels, a circuit riding preacher stated in his memoirs that
in 1855 J J Butler, J W Brice & Thomas Briscoe filed a petition for a charter."
 [This would have been for the Salem Baptist Church - the first church in Poetry Texas, located at a site not far from where the Briscoe family lived in Kaufman County, before the area was made rockwall County]
