=========================================================== DATABASE OF THE DAY (Free for 10 Days!) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> ============================================================ AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR REJECTED PENSIONS During America's struggle for freedom, thousands of men fought for the colonial government and many received pensions or bounty land grants for their service. This database is a listing of men who applied for a pension but were rejected. It was originally published in 1852 and was an expanded version of a book published in 1838. Each record provides the applicant's name, state and town of residence, and the reason their petition was denied. It contains the names of over 8,600 individuals. For researchers of Revolutionary War ancestors, this can be a helpful database. Bibliography: "Rejected or Suspended Applications for Revolutionary War Pensions." Washington, D.C.: n.p., 1852.

The Sardis Baptist Church was first called the Beech Branch. The name was changed in 1810 when the congregation moved into town and a new building was erected.

Yes....that is true....however, there is still a Beech Branch Baptist Church in operation in Sardis, that serves the black community. The address in the telephone book is: 7586 Highway 24S, Sardis, GA 30456 tel: 912-569-9007. I don't see a listing for McCoy, but I'm sure I can find someone who knows a contact...I'll try to find someone on Monday. -----Bob Hammond ----- Original Message ----- From: Williams <cclad@usit.net> To: <GABURKE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2000 2:34 AM Subject: Re: Beech Branch Church > The Sardis Baptist Church was first called the Beech Branch.
