William Sanders was called and ordained as pastor of this arm of the church on July 14, 1849. The Lawrenceville Baptist church accepted the offer from the Presbyterian church to use their building and voted a resolution of thanks to the Presbyterian brethren for same. On August 18, 1849, delegates were elected to the Appalachee association, and letters of application for membership were prepared and delivered to said delegates. The church asked for dismission from said association August 19, 1854. After joining the Lawrenceville association, the church went from this body to the Appalachee association in August, 1867, and in 1870 again joined the Lawrenceville association. The church joined the Appalachee association again in August, 1885, and came back to the Lawrenceville organization in 1894, and has remained a member since that time. In 1850, a building committee was appointed to look after the erection of a church, as follows: Jas. A. Simmons, Jno. J. Davis, Anthony W. Bates.

Moriah. This church is one of the oldest in the county. Just what year witnessed its organization can not he stated, but some are inclined to believe that it was constituted in 1800. Certainly it was organized by or before 1820. In July, 1828, the church had a membership of more than two hundred. The church minute for October 31, 1835, reads as follows: "The church at Mt. Moriah met in conference, Brother R. Philips, moderator. Inquired for fellowship and Brother Miller came forward with a charge of intoxication against himself, and the church agreed to continue the case. Called for reference, and the case of Brother Samuel Fraser was laid over. Also the case of Brother Isaac Seago was laid over. Also, the case of Sister Elizabeth Brown was called and she came forward and gave satisfaction and her letter was granted." On December 31, 1836, the church unanimously called Ansolem Anthony as pastor. On April 3, 1841, Rev. Richard Phillips was elected pastor. He was again called in 1845. A camp-meeting was held for several years at this church in the forties and fifties. At the August, 1846, conference, a committee consisting of G. W. Morgan, Wm. Hall, Thos. Parish, John Cain and W. A. Cain was appointed to lay off the camp-ground. As a result of this camp-meeting, held in 1846, 29 joined the church at the next conference in October. At the December meeting, "Charlott, a woman of color," joined by experience. Richard Philips was elected pastor again in January, 1847, and also in December for the year 1848. D. H. Moncrief was pastor in 1849. At the September, 1849, conference, a charge was brought against G. W. Morgan, because he had joined the Masonic order. And sometime in the early history of the church, the following resolution relative to the church's attitude toward the Masons was adopted: "Believing as we do that it is unrighteous for the children of light to mingle and mix with the sons of darkness; and as there seems to be a portion of the Baptist denomination that is embracing that which we believe to be erroneous for ministers of the gospel or even lay members to embrace, and which in its present development is calculated to injure the cause of religion and stop its progress so that the cause of Zion must languish on that account; and in order to clear our skirts from the blood of any man, we as the Baptist church at Mt. Moriah agree to enter our protest against what is called Free Masonry. "Resolved, (1) That as a church we will from this time forward close our doors to any minister of the gospel who has become a member of the Masonic lodge, as soon as it comes to our knowledge, unless he will renounce his correspondence entirely with them and make satisfaction for his wrongs. "Resolved, (2) That we hold any lay member in disorder who is or shall become a member of the Masonic fraternity, and he shall be deemed a disorderly walker and dealt with as a transgressor. Resolved, (3) That if any member has or shall come to the knowledge of any brother being a Free Mason and refuses to reveal the same to the church, we will hold him accountable and deal with him as a disorderly brother, unfaithful to the church. "Resolved, (4) That we oppose Free Masonry as far as in our power lies in its present form, or until they (the Masons) will let their acts and obligations and all their secrecy come to the light of day, that we may judge more righteously and be the better able to do them justice and clear our skirts. "Resolved, (5) That in order to show to the rising generation our disapprobation to all secret combinations, we have this preamble and resolution recorded. in our church book." November 1, 1851, the church in conference passed this resolution: "We, the church, take into consideration the abstract part of our decorum that relates to Masonry, and enact that it be null and void." James Lankston was chosen pastor in April, 1850, and in February of the following year Silas King was elected as such. On December 5, 1851, Jas. M. Davis was ordained to the ministry. The ministers taking part in this important ceremony were Silas King and Amos Hadaway. At this same conference, the church called James M. Davis, just ordained as a minister, to the pastorate of the church. On a page of the church record and following immediately after the minute of the May, 1876, conference, the following statement is made: "In 1851, at the December meeting, Elder Jas. M. Davis, our present moderator, was set apart to the full gospel ministry. He has served the church as pastor since his ordination to the present time, and has baptized into the fellowship of the church 352 members. During that time Brethren D. Y. Maddox, G. L. Bagwell, L.

This minister was a great and good man, and during his ministerial career baptized more than a thousand people. P. Williams served the church two years, 1889-'90, receiving 24 members; J. L.

Grady-Gwinnett County GaArchives Obituaries.....Rigsby, Lewis Johnson September 17 1914 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/copyright.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ga/gafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Janet Sumner http://www.rootsweb.com/~archreg/vols/00011.html#0002510 May 26, 2004, 5:19 pm The Cairo Messenger, Friday, October 1, 1915 In Memory of Bro. L. J. Rigsby Cairo, Ga. -- Bro. Lewis Johnson Rigsby was born January 9th, 1832 (1834 according to "Historic Georgia Families" by Rigsby) in Gwinnett County, Ga. He served as a Sargeant in Co. G, 55th Ga. Reg. through the Confederate war, moved to Decatur County, Ga., after the surrender and married Miss Hettie Clay. He received the degrees of Masonry at Cairo. Joined the Baptist church at Cairo about the year 1879 and was baptised by Rev. J. L. Underwood, remaining a member but removing his membership to Pleasant Grove and from there to Pine Level, and then to Capel, of which church he was one of the charter members, being very active in the organization of the church and the building of the house of worship. As a soldier, brother Rigsby was patriotic, only taking up arms in defense of his country. As a mason he regarded his obligation and was ever ready to assist those in needy circumstances. As a neighbor he was accommodating, agreeable, sociable and helpful. As a husband and father he was loving, kind and affectionate. As a Christian, we consider brother Rigsby a model. He loved his Lord and master. He was consecrated, devoted and faithful. Therefore, we feel that when the blessed Master saw fit to call him from this sinful world, out of his afflictions, which he bore with patience and fortitude, on the 17th of September, 1914, that the bereaved family for whom we offer our deepest sympathy and condolence lost its best friend, the community a useful citizen and the church its right arm. But we feel and are sure that our loss is brother Rigsby's gain. Therefore, we bow in humble submission to the God whom we love and trust, and that doeth all things well. Resolved, that a copy of this be entered upon the church record for future reference and a copy presented to the bereaved family as a token of our love and sympathy for them in their bereavement. Read and adopted in conference this 14th day of August, A.D., 1915. D. I. Smith, J. M. Prince, and B. L. Willis, Committee J. W. Cannon, Moderator and W. R. Miller, Church Clerk This file has been created by a form at http://www.genrecords.org/gafiles/ File size: 2.7 Kb
The first two links are to pages that are informative and very well done. The third link is a great find, if any of your ancestors happened to belong to a Primitive Baptist Church. Not all states are online, but the ones that are have a lot of detailed information. I found an entire extended family of one of my Illinois lines there! I hope they're helpful to some of you.

Researching the family of Alcy (Alsey?) S. WILBANKS, born May 1884 in GA; daughter of ? WILBANKS and Harriett C. Alcy's father died between 1892-1895 and her mother married about 1895 to Carnadme? H. ROBERTS, as listed in the 1900 census of Gwinnett County, GA in Pucketts (1397th) District. Alcy had one brother, Robert H. WILBANKS, born September 1892, as listed on the 1900 census. Would that be Robert Hosea Wilbanks, August 20, 1892 until May 30, 1960; buried at Zion Hill Baptist Cemetery? Alcy WILBANKS married on May 25, 1902, in Gwinnett to James Earley HARVEY, b. 1886 and d. 1972; son of James A. HARVEY and Mattie Ann WALKER; born and raised in Cain's District of Gwinnett. Alcy and James are not found in the 1910 census. They are living in Hortence, Wayne, GA in the 1920 census. They have five children listed: Leroy, JC, and Herbert are the only names I can manage to read: four sons and one daughter all together. In 1930 in Walton County, GA James Harvey living next door to his widowed mother; listed as divorced. James Earley HARVEY is buried in Walton Co., GA. I cannot find any records of their children or Alcy after the 1920 census. Is Alcy WILBANKS father, Hosea WILBANKS, 1817-1896; buried in Zion Hill Baptist Cemetery? Is her mother, Harriet CARLYLE, born March 1, 1852? She is listed in the census as being born in March 1858 in the 1900 census. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Ellen
