Peyton and Martha Bibb; James Robinson; William Zeigler; George Speigner; Lewis G. and Mary Robinson; Alexander McKeithen; Benjamin Gaines, Sr.; and Mr. and Mrs. Ezekiel Cooper. The present structure has remained virtually intact, retaining its altar rail, slave gallery, pews and coin silver Communion service.
