DANIEL BARHAM was one of the early preachers in the northern part of Logan county. He was probably instrumental in gathering old Stony Point church, of which he was one of the original members. This church was constituted, April 24, 1813, and was, at first, called Mt. Moriah. Mr. Barham appears to have served the church as pastor, from its institution, till 1820, when he was succeeded by Phillip Warden, who had been ordained to the ministry by that church, in 1815. Mr. Barham appears to have been an obscure man, of whom little is now known. He remained a member of Stony Point church till 1827, when he was dismissed by letter. To what point he moved does not appear.
