There has been a TW-N assembly meeting in Denton, [[Texas]] since the early 1960's. In +1878-1880+, Jane Kerr Langford lived in the area, having been in fellowship with exclusives at the [[Clarence Meeting Room, ON|Clarence Meeting Room]] in the township by that name, in Russell Co., [[Ontario]] with her two eldest daughters Anna & Serena as early as 1871, the rest of the family (her husband and eight other children) was Baptist.
In the early 1960's, the Tonn, Renfro and Johnson families commenced the meeting room. It is probable that prior to this, some of them met at the meeting room in Dallas, and others in the DFW area.
In the early 1990's, several left this assembly to start an independent called [[Denton Christian Fellowship, TX|Denton Christian Fellowship]] (TW-P / Renton EB), including Paul Larkin Johnson, Jr. (1921-2007), who was a co-founder of the DMR, and his son Thomas Paul Johnson (b. 1950), and son-in-law Tim VanderHoek (b. 1947). The split off may be affiliated with the Rentonites (see [https://www.awiis.com/ A Word In Its Season], a separate branch of the Brethren.
