Harris County GA Cemetery Records: Piney Grove Baptist Church Cemetery

Ellerslie Cemetery

transcribed from the tombstones by Barbara Snead Beasley in March, 2002


The Ellerslie Cemetery was first used in the 1850's. The oldest plot is that of the Jones' family with a burial in 1859. Two graves with the markings worn away may preceed this date. Other cemeteries in this area were the Prospect Cemetery and Old Bethesda Baptist Church Cemetery. Neither have been used in many years. They were located on 315 (Talbotton Rd. also known as Wire Road) A listing of those buried there can be found on pages 644 and 645 of History of Harris County by Louise Barfield. A copy is in the Harris County Library in Hamilton and the Bradley Library in Columbus, GA.

The Ellerslie Cemetery is in front of the Ellerslie Methodist Church off of GA Highway 85. Bethesda Baptist Church was to the right (south) of the cemetery from 1893 until 1992. It burned in 1992 and was relocated about 1/4 mile north.
