In 1857, a few Baptists who had settled north of Indian Creek organized a church in a small house about six miles west of Tyler just north of what is now the Chandler road (old Chandler hwy). Edwin and wife Martha (Turner) Adams were charter members of this church. It was then known as Indian Creek Baptist Church. This church lasted only nine years from 1857-1856 before disbanding. Most of the church moved to the New Harmony church a few miles further north. In 1859 the church was moved to the Dixie Highway (Hwy 64 W) near the home of the late Judge Beaird. It was known as Dean Baptist and still exists today.
Edwin and Martha Adams are buried at Beaird Cemetery. Edwin and Martha's son, Jeremiah Adams and his wife, Sarah E. Adams are also buried in the Beaird Cemetery.
