    1. [IAJONES-L] Pleasant Hill Free Will Baptist Church
    2. Ken Hart
    3. Does anyone know where I might find access to the records of the Free Will Baptist Church of Pleasant Hill, Hale Township, Jones County? I'm searching for records of Simeon Cole and family. Family lore says that Simeon Cole donated the land for the church and cemetery. His farm was just northwest of the church. The church has been inactive for years, and in fact was demolished quite a few years ago, but I have seen reference to the records in other documents, so I assume they must be available somewhere. Incidentally, when I was growing up in Cedar County sixty years ago, Pleasant Hill was frequently referred to as "Nigger Point". I hope I can be forgiven for repeating that expression. Does anyone know the origin of that name? By the way, the view from the Pleasant Hill Cemetery to the south is magnificant. The water towers of both Stanwood and Clarence are clearly visible as well as thousands of acres of farmland. Ken Hart Cambria CA
