General note
The earliest journal in our files is from 1849, and specifies it is the first session of the Zanesville yearly Conference. It consisted of churches formerly part of the Allegheny Conference that were located in eastern Ohio and, in the early years, even portions of southern Virginia and North Carolina. Its name was changed in 1864 to the Central Ohio Conference.
