Photo Gallery: Hebron Baptist Church
Marker text:
Hebron Baptist Church, originally a Primitive Baptist Church
in the Ocmulgee Circuit, later a Missionary Baptist Church, was built on 5
acres of land deeded by William Cleveland on December 23, 1812, to Isaac
Morgan, Deacon, "for and in consideration of the love and affection said
William Cleveland bears to the Baptist Society." One of the earliest pastors
was James Henderson, a beloved citizen and large planter, who lived near the
church. For many years Hebron Academy, incorporated in 1821, was located
nearby. The church ceased to exist years ago but many pioneer citizens are
buried in old Hebron's cemetery.
