Under the name of the Springfield Presbytery, Stone and the others continued laboring for about a year. It then dawned on the small group that having yet another presbytery "savored of a party spirit." It was decided to dissolve the Springfield Presbytery and sink into the body at large.

Though Stone had been ordained a minister of the Presbyterian Church by the Transylvania Presbytery in 1798, he was never comfortable with the Calvinism believed in the churches, preached by most preachers of the day and expressed in the Westminster Confession of Faith, to which the Presbytery pledged their allegiance.

Barton Stone, as did millions of others who migrated to the west in search of fame, fortune, land and destiny, found himself in the sometimes harsh surroundings of the American frontier.

"We will, that this body die, be dissolved, and sink into union with the Body of Christ at large; for there is but one Body, and one Spirit, even as we are called in one hope of our calling."
What Was/Is the Restoration Movement?
By Michael D. (Mike) Greene (June 5, 2008)
The story of the Restoration Movement has its roots deep in American history. Not just in dates and places, but in ordinary people who struggled with the daily task of living. Yet they had their eyes on the higher, nobler goal of finding the will of God and living it.
