You might think you know why so many left in 1884, but actually most of them that left in 1884, did so in March of that year, well before the August 1884 unpleasantness.
The names without notes I can fill in some of the details. The Inman family remained in the Church, and stayed put in Tennessee, but were mostly active members for as far as I can trace them. Only part of the Keeling family joined the Church in the first place, so they stayed put too. At least some of the next generation joined the church as well. Today Cedar Creek is part of the Linden Ward.

Have you found out why Mary C. Inman was excommunicated?
The record says "for adultery" Oct 25th 1887.
The records are conflicting but based on what I see, Mary Catherine Martin Inman's first husband was Samuel Edward Inman. He went to Colorado in 1884 probably to build a home for the rest of the family to move into. But he died in Colorado almost as soon as he got there.
At the time in Tennessee, marriages and divorces were difficult and expensive. She probably entered into a common law marriage after the death of Samuel and her new "husband" had not obtained a proper divorce from a previous spouse.
It is likely Elder William Don Carols Markham instigated the excommunication. He was particularly, uh ... vigilant when it came to cleaning out church records.
Someday somebody is going to find this page through Googling and learn something about an ancestor that they will be surprised to learn. Transcriptions like this are a real contribution, even if it takes a while for the right people to find it.
We can only hope Ardis.

Thanks for stopping by and for the additional info. I have seen a journal from one of the children in the Miller family. She names the Rainbolts and the Dentons as close friends. And remarks how the missionaries would pass her house on the way to visit them.
