Hopewell Methodist Church is located at Fork, in Dillon County. The cemetery is located a little outside of Fork, going toward Mullins, across Hwy 41 from the McDuffie Cemetery. Very difficult to date this cemetery due to names in the community repeating, but I'd say possibly about the same time period as the others, perhaps 1840-1850? Helen, you done real good! Most of these appear to be Methodist churches. I wonder if all these membership lists may have been originally published in some denominational type publication, and the Herald had access to that old publication? I doubt the Dillon Herald actually had access to separate early membership lists of all these churches, all from the same time period.
