Constituted on 9 May 1840 on land given to the the congregation by pioneer settlers William & John DeLoach, DeLoach Primitive Baptist is one of the most historic churches in Bulloch County. A 2005 Claxton Enterprise article by Al Hackle gives good insights into the history of the congregation. At the time of the article, the congregation was no longer active, but the church and grounds are very well-maintained. Its setting on a sand hill adjacent to Lotts Creek is one of the most idyllic in Bulloch County.
I would assume I am related to John and William DeLoach as my grandfather was a DeLoach and was born in Claxton.
My grandmother is a deloach. Her father is Thomas wain Deloach.
My Granddad Rupert W Donaldson preached at this church I believe until it shut its doors.
