See Branches of Plymouth Brethren to explain abbreviation types (although in short: OB (& TW-P) are Halls & Chapels within the "open brethren" (although GH's (generally) maintain a separate network from the Chapels). EB/TW/TW-N are "Careful" Brethren (similar to OB Halls), and BC are (generally) independent community churches with early or indirect PB influence, and will (usually) not consider themselves "Brethren"). AA/CA refers to assemblies of African or Caribbean origin, or predominant demographic, although all ethnicities are overly welcome in any assemblies.

The above primer link expands on the abbreviations, and also contains introduction to this (and other) sheets within the overall History. There have been scores of branches with their own distinctive networks and strengths within the history of the PB, and many branches continue to flourish today, and while no assembly or gathering is identical to the others, each is thought to maintain a fervent desire for simplicity in gathering around the Lord Jesus, though practices and secondary doctrines may vary culturally and/or preferentially as autonomous (yet inter-dependent) local churches.

Assemblies are sorted geographically, and will, D.V., eventually have further history within. Red links on Brethrenpedia are presently undeveloped, and blue links contain data. Appreciate patience with our progress, and if you'd like to help, please contact any of the editing team, preferably via social media.

Seven Mile Ford Gospel Hall, VA (OB) 1903-1936+
- c/o J.F. Snavely

tent meetings 1903 first in Grayson County with L.L. Kendrick (St. Elmo, TN), then in Smyth County, joined by Br. Moonaw; Kendrick wrote in Aug. 1903 in Our Record from Seven Mile Ford, "Tent is up and meetings going on for some weeks. A few bright cases of conversion. Some others of whom we are not sure. Several others inquiring the way of life. Pray for us."

In Oct. 1903, an update was given: "Our brother, L.L. Kendrick, pitched his tent at Seven Mile Ford on May 30th last, and is still at it in the same place. The attendance has been good and the interest sustained from the beginning. There have been several professed conversions with others, who still seem to be in trouble of soul. Besides the tent meetings, some thousands of tracts have been distributed. If possible, tent work will be continued through October, and then moved further south. Remember our bother (sic) in prayer."
