This past Saturday my son and I, with the help of my GPS and Mapsource topographical software, located and visited the site. It's located on Rigdons Mill Rd. about a 1/2 mile from the Twigg's County line on the LaFarge sandpit property. I'm sad to say that this cemetery is currently in very bad shape and has been over taken by trees and thick brush. We walked around the site 3 times before identifying Rev, Tharp's broken headstone in thick brush. Something need to be done very soon to clean up this site or it will fade from the human eye never to be found again. I strongly suspect that my GGGG-Grandparents Jacob Elijah Self and Elizabeth Self were buried here since they joined the church in 1811. Does anyone know if clean-up help is available and what are the legallities involved. I feel that Stone Creek Baptist Church because of the history it! has had in Middle Ga. should be preserved as a historical site for future generations to visit.
