Cottondale, FL 32431
A Short History of First Baptist Church Cottondale, Jackson County, Florida
With pictures of cemetery.
Note:
I laid out this cemetery several years ago and have kept the records since. We established it around
an old cemetery that dates beyond the Civil War with one grave.
 I have included the old graves in row 5B and 6A with what information I could get off the stones.
Some stones yielded nothing.
Bobbie Toole, my talented first cousin, referred me to you.
 I got permission from the First Baptist Church of Cottondale, FL 32431, for this to be done.
See bottom of page for information from Sink Creek Survey.
