    1. [GAPOLK] Mt. Hope Cemetery
    2. George McSwain
    3. I am searching for a Polk County (I think) cemetery which was at the site of Mt. Hope Church named for my ancestor Hope Hull Watts. Hope Hull Watts and the Mt. Hope Church later moved into Cave Spring where they became the Cave Spring Methodist but I think that Hope Hull Watts was buried at the site of the church - which we can't locate. I have some information that it was in Land Lot 434, 2nd District, 4th Section, in Polk County and that the cemetery was shared by the congregation of the Friendship Baptist Church and may have been known as the Friendship Cemetery. This was around 1860 so the names may have changed - and as far as I know there is neither a church or an active cemetery at the site currently. It was also known as "Round Hill". Can you help?
