Text of marker: "STINCHCOMB METHODIST CHURCH. Stinchcomb Methodist Church was one of the first churches in this section of the state. On Dec. 30, 1794, Middleton Wood granted to Absalom Stinchcomb, John Gatewood and John Ham, the "privilege to erect a meeting house on his land on waters of Dove Creek". The first building was a log structure. By 1850s the church acquired surrounding property. The present building has been in continuous use for over 100 years. The sills are handhewn, 14 inches square. Among the old graves in the churchyard cemetery is that of Dionysius Oliver, Revolutionary soldier. 052-8B GEORGIA HISTORICAL COMMISSION 1996" - External Identifiers:
