A copy of "DeLoach's Church Minute's" was placed in the Henderson Library @ the Georgia Southern College in Statesboro, Georgia by Dr. Delmas Presley in the 1970's. At this writing, members of the newly formed "DeLoach's Church Preservation Society" is on a mission to find the original minutes.
I've transcribed these minutes as I found them....taking no liberties with spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. and leaving some of the interpretation to the reader. Although, the minutes are recorded from the Consitution Day of the church in 1840 to 1961, I opted to transcribe only through 1905. Many of our Southeast Georgia ancestors are represented in these pages.
I hope the reader enjoys reading them as much as I enjoyed transcribing them.
