The church cemetery, right across Highway from the little white frame
church (I believe it may be the original building, in fact) is just
inside the city limits of Yatesville. It is the largest of the two
cemeteries in town and is basically used as the city cemetery. The
cemetery is located in the triangle created by the intersection of
Childs Street and Highway 74.

Early families include: Willis and Caldwell members were relatives of John Adams ([email protected]). William WILLIS (one of the first Deacons and also sold the land for the church) was a founding member. Creed Caldwell was ordained to the ministry at this church. He became and Elder in the Old Line Primitive Baptist Church and served Good Hope in Upson and Bethlehem Church in Meriwether Co., Ga. He was moderator of the Primitive Western Association of Primitive Baptist for many years.
Thomas Ratcliff and his wife Mary Ann Hobbs Ratcliff were also members. Researcher: Steve C. Johnson ([email protected])
From this same book is more information on New Hope Primitive Baptist, which gives the following names as founders and, presumably, early settlers of the Yatesville area. They were Alan CADDIN, Jones PERSONS (my ancestor); Thomas, Marthy and Naomi SANDERS; Anna CADENHEAD; and Milly ALLEN.
The current building was erected in 1924 after the prior one, built in 1870, was lost in a tornado. That building replaced one that was "enlarged and practically rebuilt" in the 1840s. I would assume the original building was up by the end of 1824, since the church was organized on March 31 of that year.
The home of Zachariah H. Gordon, father of John B. Gordon, was about two miles away, only a short distance from the Flint River.
From Thomaston Courthouse square go South on Highway 19 South 4 and two tenths miles, turn right onto John B. Gordon Road, go 2 and nine tenths miles. The Cemetery is on the right side of the road.
The interesting architecture of the meeting house has a high pulpit gox with a door for entrance very similar to Episcopal Churches in Virginia and South Carolina.
Rude wooden benches put together with wooden pegs, placed in as close juxtaposition as possible, and coming very close to the pulpit box, indicate that at one time this congregation was a large one.
One of the first minutes:
"Church of Christ at Good Hope met in conference according to appointment May 17, 1829. Opened a door for the reception of members. Came forward a women of color by the name Alley and joined by letter: Also Richmond and Rachel his wife who were received by ditto, the proprety of Edward Clerk, also Scoot and was received by Ditto, the property of Ditto.[From The Early History of Upson County by Nottingham and Hannah]Came forward our Brother J.W. Webster and joined by experience, also Sarah Stilwell, joined by ditoo.
The building no longer exists today. The minutes of the church are on the Archives in Thomaston.

King's Chapel
Minutes and Membership
King's Chapel is a Missionary Baptist Church My great-grandfather,
James Henry "Son" Maze, was a member there
for many years; I can still remember as a child going to "dinner on the
grounds" there once every year--the pianist, whose first name was Mae, really
pounded the keys. Vic Oglesby ([email protected])
The Early History of Upson: I found that Jacob KING was a "noted
Baptist minister of Upson". He founded almost a score of churches,
preaching at eight or ten. He was the pastor of Thomaston Baptist Church
from 1825 until his death in 1862. (He appears on many, many marriage licenses
of the time)
Rev. Jacob King and his cousin Zachariah Gordon were in the Rehoboth Association
which was made up of a group of churches in different counties. (therefore
perigrination)
"He and his cousin Zachariah Gordon instituted the "ride and tie" plan in their
peregrinations from church to church. Jacob King never accepted any payment for
his services. The phrase somes from "ride their horses and tie them outside the
church for the services; even using one pony between them to go through the
different counties preaching.
Thomaston Archives has a file on this church.
Henry Hooten was a Minister of the Gospel and is listed as having married a number of individuals from 1826 - 1840. Thomaston Archives has a file on New Harmony Baptist church.
It was built on land belonging to W.J. McMichael. The Early History of Upson County provides early membership as well as pastors from 1886-1892.

Printed in Thomaston Times April 4, 1913 by Mrs. J. Fain >Johnson. Mr. John Childs updated at a later date, mid 1940's.
Just a little preliminary remark: It may be that some of you will notice the absence of a great many names that you expected to hear in this sketch of the history of our church. By way of explanation, let me say that no doubt that it was the case at that time as it is with us today in seeking for ones to fill these official places, so many refused to accept these positions if nominated, and we are expected to give the names of those we find on record who accepted the nomination, neveretheless, the ones who did not accept these places were true faithful Christians, and their faithfulness in regular attendance upon the services, and their noble contributions in all walks of life were an inspiration. We have been reliably informed that this church, Antioch Methodist Church, was first organized and constituted in a log house near the Alabama Road some distance west of where it now stands.
It was founded by James PIERCE, Casper HOWELL, Samuel WILSON, others of like faith about the year 1830. You will find in the clerk's fofice this deed made the 4th day of December, 1855 between William CRAWFORD, executor of Casper HOWELL and Richard FORD, James R. BLACK, Mims RODNEY, Washington McKENZIE and Harvey TRICE, Trustees of Antioch Church, Upson County recorded Dec 7, 1855. These trustees together with their companions were among the original members of Antioch Church.
And we have been further informed that with the aid of the church and community, this sacred house was moved from its original place to this plot of ground. This church then had for its pastor such noble Christians, William CRAWFORD, James STAFFORD, and others.
These pastors were self sacrificing going miles on horse-back to fill their appointments. This church was then known as Thomaston Circuit, which embraced so many churches the services of two ministers were required to do the work. During these first years and through the Civil War, we have been unable to find any records. The first recorded minutes available were dated July 14, 1866, 11 years after the deed was recorded and one year after the close of the Civil War.
W.D. McKENZIE was elected secretary at this meeting, and as noticed by reading the minutes, we find many items of interest which we no longer practice; but no doubt we would be better informed of the works of our church if this system could be revived. No doubt some of you older members may recall the order of business that was transacted at these meetings which were held monthly on Saturday after preaching.
First roll call and if it was found that there were delinquent members, some that had missed several meetings, a committee was appointed to visit them and ascertain the cause of their absence and report back at next conference. This today, seems like strict discipline, but if this was still in effect, we would not be wondering of the whereabouts of some of our members.
Next came the report from the pastor in charge, stating whether he had filled the pulpit regularly, and the number of families he had visted since last meeting and lastly the financial business. There was no Sunday School at this time.
In October of that year, W.D. McKENZIE, Peter BUTTS, W.P. FRANKLIN, Thomas BLACK, Oliver WALLS, and T.H. BARRON were elected church trustees. At that time Rev. John REYNOLDS was pastor in charge.
Many other names we find appointed on different committees, and not having a church register for these years, still we can safely rely on the names given below as original members:
Alex SINGLETON James SMOOT Henry COLQUITT Bill GRAHAM Fletcher WHITE Washington, William and Benjamin GORDY John BURNETTE Benjamin STOREY Mr. HOYLE and others.
Some years later, we find the sons and aughters of older members unting with the church. Many whose names time will not permit us to mention. Later on new ones moved into the community. Captain Frank VINING, J.W. WARREN, J.W. STOREY, F.M. GARNER, J.R. MURDOCK, E.E. THOMPSON, Ed SMITH, Jesse HOWELL, Nathan XORN, W.S. CHALKLEY, and Henry FULLERTON
The following brethren served as secretary in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's:
W.D. McKENZIE Thomas BLACK J.W. WARREN J.R. FRANKLIN F.M. GARNER W.C. FRANKLIN Jas E. WHITE J.W. BARRON and many others
R.T., W.P. and Elihu BURNETTE, C.M. GORDY served as class leaders.
With the passing of the Saturday meetings, these conferences were discontinued. We find several widows who were members at that time: Mrs. Martha BOYERS, Mrs. P. SLEDGE, Mrs. Cum FULLERTON, and later Mrs. Maggie SMITH and Mrs. Nannie GRUBB.
The following served as pastors during these years: J.W. REYNOLDS, W.W. GRAHAM, T.A. MITCHELL, J.R. PATE, J.B. HOLLAND, B.R. TRAMMELL, J.P. BURGERS.
First Sunday School was organized in 1876. Teachers were: J.F. LEWIS, W.D. McKENZIE, J.W. WARREN, E.T. WALLS, Ed SMITH, W.S. WHITE
In 1873 Uncle Billie FRANKLIN was elected Choirister.
In 1892 the first organ was bought for the church.
Since 1900 we have had the following pastors: Walrave, Tarpley, Lewis, Yarbrough, Carmichael, Bowden, Miller, Thurmond, Self and Hardy in 1916.
On June 11th at church conference a building committee was elected to raise money to build a new church:
C.B. McKenzie, Chairman; C.A. Warren, J.C. Burnette, J.A. Harp, E.L. Harp. W.F. Beall, C.D. Smith, Mrs. W.S. White, Mrs. O.A. Franklin, and Mrs. C.B. McKenzie.
We find this on record Aug 1, 1916 the old church was torn down by the people of the community, the ground was made ready in two days for building a new church. A finance committee was appointed by the pastor, Rev. J.H. Hardy was made foreman of the building and work was begun at once. After the foundation was about completed at a cost of $290 the committee thought best to have building finished up by contract and was so ordered. E.L. Harp resigned and J.W. Barron was appointed in his place. Sealed bids were received for the completion of the building from the foundation up. The Garner Nelson Lumber Co was awarded the contract for $2500, their being the lowest bidders. After the contract was let work was begun, it was found necessary to make some changes in the plan of the building at an extra cost of $320. The building was turned over to the committee and accepted Dec 1, 1916.
Milton Knoles, David Barton Coffman Elrod, P.E. Eops, Walton Pierce, Twiggs J Cunnicutt (These names were in handwriting, and I'm not sure I translated them correctly....if anyone can help me, please do)
In 1917 and 1918 Rev. Wright and Rev Tatum were faithful pastors in charge and we find encouraging reports read at each quarterly conference. Just for a moment, let us notice the amount of the salaries paid at that time. In 1902 W.C. Franklin, W.P. Burnette, W.H. Boyers, J.W. Warren, stewards, assessed our church for pastor in charge and Presiding Elder $115. In 1917 $300 assessments. It is hard to realize the salaries beins so small, but they were gradually increased from year to year.
At that time the Sunday School was in prosperous condition. J.W. Barron was secretary for a number of eyars latter part of 1800 and 1st years of 1900.
This brings us up to 35, 36, 37, 38 with Rev. Timberlake in charge. During these years, the church gradually moved forward. The revival at Antioch began with homecoming in August. Rev. C.B. McKenzie brought the homecoming message. During the next week, he preached soul-stirring sermons to his home church as probably no other preacher could have done. His sudden passing a short time afterwards brought deep sorry to a large circle of friends. On that Homecoming Day our own Annie Mae White, who six years previously answered the call to carry the message to far distant lands, brought a wonderful message of the work being accomplished from time to time. On that visit and on recent visits to her home church, she has poured out the soul messages stored away for her own church.
In the minutes of these years we find interesting reports of the Epworth League, having as earnest leaders Mr and Mrs. E.H. Storey, Christine Storey, Kathleen Downs, and otehrs. We find on record outstanding reports from our Missionary Society which was organized by our consecrated and efficient president, Miss Mary Kelly in 1933. In 1949, W.S.C.S. was organized to take the place of the Women Missionary Society. From the beginning until the present time, our society has moved forward with enthusiasm on the part of all..
Well prepared and inspiring programs are given at each meeting and there has been renewed interest and increase in attendance. We are keeping well in advance of all financial obligations and bringing our pledge up to date and all reports are sent to conference and district officers on time. For all this, we are indebted to our group of efficient officers. We enter each New Year with prayer and faith in God to help us do better work than ever before. The spirit of cooperation manifested each to the other is inspiring as the proceeds collected and perhaps more valuable. Our goal is to enlist every woman who is a member of our church in the W.S.C.S.
All through the years as we review the records we find excellent reports from the Sunday School under the efficient leadership of our faithful and consecreated superintendent, J.C. Burnette. A wonderful record is his having filled this place ___ years. During these years several daily vacation Bible schools were held in these schools and a great deal of interest was manifested as a result of these schools. Great interest has been shown in our church school; all officers and teachers have been unusually faithful.
Meetings were held each year during August for ten days. Families established "tent-houses" (rock chimneys with all cooking done over the fire places) to live in for these days of inspiration. (The Early History of Upson County lists the families involved)
During Sherman's march,(1865) these tents were occupied by Union soldiers and then burned.
Several years later the camp ground was organized near The Rock with many of the same families (second generation) rebuilding their tents. (These families are listed also) In 1895 camp meetings were discontinued and in 1904 the are was bought by Camp Gordon for holding annual reunions of Upson County Confederate Veterans. A cemetery is now on the North Side of the grounds.
For more information see The Early History of Upson County pg. 347...includes partial list of organizing members.
Macedonia Baptist Church
The charter members came from the First Baptist Church around 1870. The "mother church" helped them build their first building.
Source:Upson Historical Society Feb 2002 issue
This great and historic congregation was
founded on the 7th day of May in 1870.
With the Civil War decided and
emancipation a potent reality, the black
members of the Thomaston Baptist Church
[now First Baptist] determined that it ws
in God's will that they establish their
own church.
Forty men and women requested their
letters of membership. Familiar names
like Trice, Zorn, Walker, Holloman,
Sherman, Cobb, Drake, King, Dicekerson,
Worthy, Sandwich, Woodson and Reeves dot
this list.
Next followed 13 silent years. Records of
the church's location are gone with the
dusts of history. Newspapers indicate
that there were no black school buildings
at that time, and it is generally believed
that the churches also did duty as school
houses.
The first property record reveals that on
June 16, 1883, Moses Cameron, a charter
member of the church, deeded to Jerry
Worthy, Jesse Holliman, and William King,
deacons, for and in consideration of the
sum of $30.00, lot number 216 containing
one half acre.
The first paster of this congregation,
Claude Gilmore, perhaps one of the
greatest orators of his day, put Macedonia
on th emap. [Claude Gilmore was born in
Indian Spring, Georgia. He served more
than 20 years and baptized more than 2000
converts and married 1500 couples before
his death in 1897.
W.M. Watts born a slave in Monroe County,
but self educated, he served 25 years.
I.S. Mack, a native of Pike County,
arrived in 1920 and served seven years
giving Macedonia great leadership.
Under the leadership of pastor H.M.
Alexander, the present Macedonia building
was erected. [2002]
By 1960 the officers of the church felt it
strong enought to support a full-time
minister and program. Across the years
this congregation has helped to send
worthy young people to college.
St. Mary's AME church
Thomaston Archives has a file on this church.
The Daughters of Mary and Martha Society was a mutual-aid society started by the ladies of St. Mary AME Church in the
1880s. It was primarily to provide funds for decent burial for members - hence the tombstone inscriptions. The society was
later expanded to include men, so became the Sons and Daughters of Mary & Martha Society. It later opened membership to
persons outside the AME church, and expanded its charitable missions. Today, it owns and operates several houses in
Thomaston that it rents to low-income persons, and runs a youth program.
Bethel Methodist Church - Hendricks
Records are incomplete but The Early History of Upson includes the pastors from 1871 and a listing of membership.
Arnold Methodist Church
Located in southeastern part of the county near Yatesville. As early as Aug 2, 1828, Mark Jackson deed a tract of land one hundred yards square to "Robert Jackson, Shepherd B. Sanders, Thomas J. Sanford, E. Robertson, James Smith and David Askin, Trustees of Arnold Meeting house of the Methodist Episcopal Church". Early minutes are not available.
See The Early History of Upson p. 367 for more information and list of pastors since 1846 and partial list of oldest members.
Early Methodists living in Yatesville included the McDONALD, PURIFOY
(related to the Persons), SIMS and REVIERE families.
Upson Camp Ground
On Jan 16, 1829, Soloman Stephens deeded to Peter Holloway, James Hightower, Simeon Rogers, Thomas Flewellen and William Philip Younge, trustees of the Methodist Society of Upson County, the west half of Lot #26 in the 10th Land District of Upson County for the sum of $200....about 7 miles east of Thomaston.
The Rock Methodist Church
This church was organized in 1875 and was locted near the "old campground" in the southeastern part of The Rock. The Early History of Upson County gives the early pastors and early members--several of which transferred from Liberty Chapel.
Liberty Chapel
Liberty Chapel was probably one of the earliest Methodist churches in the county. It is listed on the 1897 map at the southeast corner of Land Lot 62 in Land District 11 and also on present day maps at the corner of Liberty Chapel Road and The Rock Road. Several members of this church were charter members for The Rock Methodist Church organized in 1875.
Unidentified Church
Upson Co., Ga. History page 287 - 1841, Oct. 25 - O. C. Gibson,
and Austin Martin, to Tilman Ansley, Burwell Howell, James Hicks, Peter
Butts, Cary W. Allen and David Gibson, Trustees Methodist Church. (Most
probably Martin's Church - Ed. note)
Congregational Church
Hebron Congregational Church
Located in the northwest corner of county one mile west of Crest, it was organized Aug 21, 1889 with the following officers: J.S. Tisinger, clerk; Dr. W.A. Means, treasurer: D.R. Womble and T.J. Long, deacons. J.S. Tisinger, J.W. Mangham, Dr. W.A. Means, trustees. Rev. W.H. Graham was the first pastor.
African American Church
Prior to 1870, the former slaves did not have their own churches, but worshipped in the established churches of the area.
Gray's Chapel
(Located sw of Yatesville, Ga. There was an African-American school located there before l900.)On W. J. Matthews 1897 map of Upson County, there is a "Gray's Chapel"located in the eastern portion of the county in Land Lot 260, Land District 11, original Monroe County (470 Georgia Militia District)--this
is located about three miles southwest of Yatesville.
On the current
Upson County general highway map, this same site is annotated as "Grace
Chapel" with a map symbol indicating it is a "church with cemetery."
To get to this Chapel, travel west from
Yatesville on State Highway 74 for about one mile, then turn left on
Grays Chapel Road. Travel down Grays Chapel Road for about 1 1/2 to 2
miles to where it looks like an unimproved road branches off to the
left. To get to "Grace Chapel," you will either have to turn left onto
this unimproved road (possibly a driveway to the church), or go just
past this road and the Chapel will be on the left.
Cedar Grove Baptist Church
Cedar Grove Baptist Church is on Hwy 36,(Woodland Road) west from Thomaston, on the right side of the road. There is a cemetery next to the church.
June 23, 1871, was the day of formal organization in the home of Mr. William S. Oliphant. The following persons were in attendance:
Dr. J.W. Suggs Mrs. N.M. Suggs Miss Marcy C. Suggs Mr. Willias S. Oliphant Mrs. L.M. Oliphant Miss Sallie Oliphant Dr. G.W. T. Hannah Mrs. G.A. Hannah Mr. J.K. Adams Mrs. E.A.
