Thank you, Lynda for helping us to organize some of the information on Talbotton District of Talbot County. She combined information that she found in the two reference books to compile a listing of the churches, cemeteries, schools in the various districts. I'm sending the Talbotton Listing first... One of our goals was to list the various ministers of the gospel who might also have appeared on some of the marriage data that we shared earlier. Possibly that would give you an indication of the religion of your ancestor. As always I hope this will be useful to you, and we welcome your input on this on-going project.
