      Lunsford Trawick is noted in the 1805 Sarepta minutes as a licensed preacher, the only Crooked Creek member named as a minister prior to 1837. It seems likely, given that the church had only 34 members at the time, that Trawick served as pastor in 1805, though this is unconfirmed. Trawick moved his membership to Mars Hill near Watkinsville in 1807 and died two years later. This seems to indicate that he may be buried in the Mars Hill cemetery, but if so his grave is unmarked. Trawick's daughter Esther married Johnson Freeman, and the couple are listed on the 1850 Crooked Creek church roll. Of note to local residents is the fact that longtime piano teacher Miss Montine Head of Jefferson was a direct descendant of Lunsford Trawick through Johnson and Esther Freeman.
