Anita and Gale - There is a book "Hebron Presbyterian Church" 1796-1996 published by the Hebron Historical Society in Banks County. The book can be obtained from the Historical Society. According to the book, the current church was built in 1884, but the history of the church goes back to 1796, not 1706. Again, according to the information in the book, the request from Presbyterians in Franklin County to Hopewell Presbytery to be organized into a congregation to be named Hebron is dated March 16, 1797. Are you sure of your dates? The book contains quite a listing of family genealogies of the members. The book contains an index of names and lists an Elias Andrew Sanders as being married to Jane Alice Gillespie (page 329). There is no other mention of Elias Sanders in the book.
