Constituted in 1841 as Cow Creek Church, near the site of a skirmish between Creek Indians and Georgia Militia [27 August 1837], Wayfare Primitive Baptist Church is the most historic congregation in Echols County. The location was originally in Ware County, then Clinch, before the creation of Echols County. Original members were: John Roberts, Sr., Edmund Mathis, Unity Mathis, Harvey Mizell, Rebecca Mizell, John T. Roberts, John Mathis, James Johnson, Simon A. Blackman, Azilpha Tomlinson, Harvey Matthews, Elizabeth Register and Rachael Howell.
Are there any church records from the 1800s available to be used for genealogy? Madonna Howze Terry
Is this where the original church used to stand? I’m looking to see if there is anything left of the original church. Thank You
