* Bethlehem Baptist Church of Campbellton is now known as Campbellton Baptist Church and is the oldest organized Baptist Church in Florida and Jackson County.

?  Jerusalem A.M.E.Church was founded in 1868 and the printed reference indicated its records date back to 1809.  I believe this to be a typographical error and have listed it as 1909.


As mentioned before, I am eagerly seeking further information on these and other churches and cemeteries of Jackson County.  Many families settled in this area in the mid-1800s on their migration patterns from Georgia and Alabama.  Some, like my ancestors, enjoyed the beauty of this quaint area and decided to stay permanently.


Source and Disclaimer:  I found this information in a book entitled Guide to Supplementary Vital Statistics from Church Records in Florida (Preliminary), Volume II Gilchrist - Okaloosa Counties, pp 431-444. It was prepared by The Florida Historical Records Survey Division of Community Services Programs Work Projects Administration. Sponsor: The Florida State Library Board; Co-Sponsor: Bureau of Vital Statistics, Florida State Board of Health. Jacksonville, Florida; The Florida Historical Records Survey, June 1942. This publication was found in both the Florida State Archives, Tallahassee, Florida, and Orlando Public Library, Orlando, Florida - Genealogy Department.

I take no credit whatsoever for the accuracy of the compiled data. I have merely found this information so useful as a beginning to gaining more knowledge about the churches and their records of Jackson County, Florida.  I wanted to share this in hopes of updating and gaining access to older records for genealogical purposes only.
