    "Ken Shelton wrote that the Rev. Asher Shelton was found on the Butler Co., KY Surveyors Book as owning land along the Sandy Creek and Big Muddy River area... Asher was a founding member of the Sandy Creek Baptist Church, along with his brothers Joshua and Jesse Shelton. William Gough was a constitutional member also. Asher was ordained in 1805. He was voted a delegate to the Baptist Convention in 1805. He obtained a license to perform marriages in Butler Co., KY in September 1810. After he and his family moved to Todd Co., KY, he belonged to the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. However he left this church to form his own, along with two son-in-laws, John C. and William Hearn and their families. This church was officially named the New Liberty Church in 1854.
