Does anyone have the names of the people buried in an Antioch church? I only know that there were two churches with that name...an east and a west Antioch. The churches were/are near Bolling, Alabama, which was between Georgiana and Greenville. I am searching for the names of Thorntons and Sims who may be buried in these cemeteries. I am grateful for any info or help.
