    1. [WALDROP] Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church
    2. Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church was organized on December 8, 1824, in the Wells School house bt Tyre Landers, and G. B. Waldrop. The following were charter members: Frances Landers, Vlarissa Woodruff, Sara Morgan, Elizabeth Niblet, Precilla Woodruff, Mary Hedrick, Hannah Spradlin,Hezaih Lawrence , Sara Schamblee, Margaret Minchem, Cynthy Barnett, Editha Mc McDaniel, Elly Dacis, Nancy Hendrix, John Hendris, Elizabeth Doneyhoo, James Donhook Thomas Mason, Prodence Well. James Wells, Bodie Waldrop. Benjamom Waldrop, Alsey Waldrop, The first building was erected in 1824 and replaced in 1909. The first minister of the Church was James Hale, who served 16 years consecutively, and an additional 12 years later. Located on Pleasant Hill Road between Duluth and Lawrenceville, near the corner of Cruse Road, the Church today is used as Sweetwater Memorial Chapel. The Cemetery is relatively well maintained, and several graves are decorated with small confederate Flags. I have a picture of the probably 1909 Sweetwater Primitive Church. also a Cemetery with the home of Eli Landers in the background. I didn't see the Higgingbothams or Eavenson families with the Waldrop in Gwinnette County, Georgia or at least not mention. Sandra
