Seven records could not be produced and bank here by name. Gap 1 — the Presbyterian church of 1858–59: attested by Hawes' gazetteer alone; founding, building, and end unrecovered. Settler: the presbytery's records and the Presbyterian historical collections, a county-history re-read, and the Historic New Carlisle museum's files. Gap 2 — the Methodist move from Timothy Road: the South Bend Tribune places a new Methodist church on Timothy Road in 1964; the congregation worships today at 300 E. Compton Street, and no source reached dates or explains the move, or the 1964 building's fate. Settler: the congregation's own archive and the Indiana Conference journals. Gap 3 — the Christian Church continuity: that the church organized March 29, 1868, and today's Community Christian Church are one congregation is probable but undocumented in any source reached. Settler: the congregation's own records. Gap 4 — the New Carlisle Wesleyan founding: no founding date, founders, or course in any source reached. Settler: The Wesleyan Church's district records and the congregation's own archive. Gap 5 — the New Carlisle Baptist trace: Fellowship Baptist Church of South Bend's history records services held in 1965–67 in a building that "later became the New Carlisle Baptist Church"; whether a Baptist congregation was ever seated in this township, and its course, is unestablished. Settler: Fellowship Baptist Church's records and the Baptist denominational archives. Gap 6 — Olive Chapel's building continuity: the 1869 chapel on section 11 and the congregation's present restored building on IN-2 stand in the same quarter of the township, but no source reached documents whether the site is one and continuous. Settler: the congregation's own records and the township trustee's files. Gap 7 — the "old Mormon Temple": Mrs. Pidge's reminiscence names the building where Methodist preaching was held about 1849–50 and locates it where Dr. Davis' residence stood in 1907; who built it, and whether any Latter-day Saint congregation ever sat in New Carlisle, is unrecovered. Settler: the county histories re-read, the Historic New Carlisle museum's files, and the Latter-day Saint church history collections.
