Since Easter is next weekend, this week I'd like to share pictures of country churches I've visited while doing family research. I'll start with one near and dear to my heart ... Bairds Baptist Church, constituted June 24, 1802, in Bairdstown, Oglethorpe County, Georgia. I remember going to homecomings with my family as a young girl.
My grandparents, an aunt, and uncles are buried there so I've walked the cemetery many times with Daddy. He used to tell me "we're related to most everybody in this cemetery." I've since proven that to be true as three of the four siblings of my fourth great-grandfather are buried there, along with their families.
Elizabeth Lankford Bryant plot
Curtis Caldwell Lankford plot
Robert Chester Lankford plot
Unfortunately I haven't found the final resting place of my ancestor, James M. Lankford.
