Kelly, I wonder if anyone has pictures of the old Primitive Baptist church? I think there was 2 before this last one! Also records from this church would be great information. I wonder where some of the early records could be found? anyone know?

Hi Rutha, I would hope that the newer Primitive Church has the records for the older ones. Maybe someone in the area could call the church and ask? I just checked the phone book but I see no listing, someone may need to drop by there.
