Virginia, According to geonames.usgs.gov, there are two Springfield churches in Greene county, GA. One is in Greensboro on Canaan street. This is about 7 miles SW of Union Point. 33:34:07N 083:10:40W The second is four miles NE of Buckhead, GA and about ten miles west of Greensboro. 33:36:23N 083:18:35W So both are in Greene county, about 10 miles apart and both very near to US 278. Neither on is near Taliaferro Co. Since Taliaferro co was created from Greene and four other counties, neither church could have ever been in Taliaferro. Geonames has no record of a Springfield church in Taliaferro Co. bruce >Can anyone help me with this question? >I am hoping we can get these two cemeteries on-line...but I need some help >in the actual location. >I understand that the mailing address is Union Point which is in Greene >County --- so looking at the map, I thought perhaps this church might be >located near Robinson in Taliaferro County. >Does anyone recognize the names of the courthouse people named here?

Bruce, It took me a little while to get this all straight as I kept looking at the map --- there are at least TWO Springfield churches located both on a road named Springfield.... one is in Greene County, but there is also one north of there in Taliaferro County. (My eye kept seeing the Springfield Road -- and finally I realized that there were even TWO Roads in different locations!!) Thanks for your input. It is always so helpful when people like you take the time to respond to questions, and share what you know. Perhaps you saw that we now have photos of the church and cemetery, and I'm still working on getting more history of it. The Springfield Baptist in Taliaferro Co is an African-American church -- organized in 1865 (so I wouldn't be surprised if it is the oldest one in Taliaferro County anyway). I understand there is also a Springfield Baptist in (I think Atlanta...don't quote me on the location!)...but anyway it is the oldest African-American church....so possibly that is why the name was used so often. I'm working on updating the cemetery listing -- so if anyone knows someone with information, please pass this along to them. We need to all help get information out to people who don't have e-mail or access to the internet -- they often times have so much information! So let's all work together to get it on-line!
