Benjamin and Alsey and Bodie are mentioned here.(Below in Sweetwater Baptist Church as charter members) Green Berry Waldrop 1791-1850s. This Green Berry is mention in Harris, Talbot, Cowetta, Mereiweather,Troup County and Muscogee County Georgia as traveling around and helping constitute the Primitive Baptist Churches. Green Berry was in Harris County when one of his sons were born. These Counties are out my back door, I live in Muscogee County, and I have traveled and checked out the Libraries where Green Berry is listed from 1828 to the late 1830s. I have copies of the deeds where he bought land in these Counties and my Muscogee County, Georgia , also. I 've heard Benjamin Waldrop stopped off in Alabama and Green Berry went on to DeSoto, Mississippi. I have listed Ezekle Waldrop listed as his brother and Benjamin Waldrop had four other sons whose names were spelled Waldrup (Major Waldrup) Jimmy Walker has listed Green Berry Waldrop 1791-1850s children listed as McDonald, Henry Low, Joseph Ryan Waldrop, and Nancy Caroline Waldrop(Mrs. Seaborn Higginbothan) Nancy married a Higginbothan, but it wasn't the Higgingbothan Jimmy Walker listed in the DeSoto County, Mississippi Journal. I have copies of letters written to Rev. or Bro. Green Berry Waldrop from his son Dr. Joseph Ryan Waldrop who was visiting in Martagorda, Texas in the 1850s. The Primitive Baptist didn't call their ministers Pastors or Rev. When Rev. Green Berry arrived in DeSoto he was called Rev. G. B. Waldrop His obit was written in the Southern Baptist Assoc. Book, in Macon , Georgia. I don't know if Ezekle Waldrop's son Green Berry Waldrop named after his uncle Rev. Green Berry Waldrop . if Green Berry the nephew was ever in Georgia during the 1820-1830s. There is plenty of evident that the elder Rev. Green Berry Waldrop(1791-1850s) was in Georgia constituting the Primitive Baptist Churches and buying and selling land in Georgia. I will send you all my findings on a few of the Primitive Baptist Churhes where during 1829 and the late 1830s, Green Berry Waldrop (1791-1850s) was in several Counties in Georgia. I have copies of the deeds where he bought and sold land in Georgia. More Information to follow. Jan Dawson, thank you for your information. So you are saying 1791-1850s Rev, Green Berry Waldrop is the son of Benjamin and Aisley Waldrop. You do not know who Bodi is, and one of the other Green Berry Waldrop is his brother Ezekle Waldrop's son who belongs to Faye Waldrop Johnston. Major Waldrup belongs to Marshall Waldrup. That leaves about three or four Waldrup brothers not accounted for, or at least I do not have information about them. Jan, thanks again for your help. The following is about the Sweetwater Baptist Chruch, including Green Berry Waldrop, Bodi, Benjamin and Asley Waldrop. Please correct anything, let me know, I will check my files and get back in touch with you. I try not to discuss anything I do not have in my files to back me up. Alot of my information came from Jimmy Walker who wrote in the DeSoto County, Mississippi Journal. Jimmy and I disagree on some of his information. I still have the material answering the questions he is asking me to prove. I need to send it to him. I can't get his correct email whenever I write him, it's returned. I do have his snail address. The Higginbothams sent me the correct information where they have Nancy Caroline Waldrop, daughter of Rev. Green Berry Waldrop and sister of my Joseph Ryan Waldrop, married to their Seaborn Higginbothan, and not who Jimmy Walker had listed in the Journa. By memory, Jimmy Walker comes from the line of my great grandpapa's daughter Georgia Ann Waldrop who married a Thornton and her daughter Jimmy Ann Thornton married Arthur Scott, then on down to the Walkers. Sweetwater Primitive Baptist Church was organized  on December 8, 1824 in the Wells school house by Tyre Landers and G. B. Waldrop.  The following were charter members:  Frances Landers, Clarissa Woodruff, Sara Morgan, Elizabeth Niblet, Precilla Woodruff, Mary Hedrick, Hannah Spradlin, Heziah Lawrence, Sarah Schamblee, Margaret Minchem, Cynthy Barnett, Editha McDaniel, Elley Davis, Nancy Hendrix, John Hendrix, Elizabeth Doneyhoo, James Donehoo, Thomas Mason, Prodence Wells, James Wells, Bodie Waldrop, Benjamin 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 two 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.  The Eli Landers house is seen directly behind the cemetery. <A HREF="http://patsabin.com/gwinnett/lawrenceville.htm">Back to Lawrenceville</A> <A HREF="http://patsabin.com/gwinnett/views.htm">Back to Gwinnett Views</A> <A HREF="http://patsabin.com/gwinnett/index.htm">Back to Gwinnett County, Georgia ALHN</A>
