back of Henry County. Recently, with Cousin JESSIE and her son, WILLIAM, I went to Elbert County in search of associations. We failed to find any of the houses. From new-found relatives near-by we learned that the old SEWELL place across the road from Stinchcomb Church, as it stands today, is not the one where Great-Great-great Aunt POLLY SEWELL lived, and where her father and mother, ABSOLOM and MARY PENN STINCHCOMB, died. But the church is there; and so strong and sturdy it stands, it must be nearly the same as it was in the day when Great-great grandfather sat in the Amen Corner and his family sang in the pews.

Historic Rural Churches of Georgia: STINCHCOMB METHODIST in Elbert County!

On July 4, 1791, a resident of what would become Elbert County, Absalom Stinchcomb, received 200 acres of property on the North Fork of Dove’s Creek, locating him in the area of the church that still bears his name. A short three years later, on December 30, 1794, Middleton Wood granted to Absalom Stinchcomb and two others, John Gatewood and John Ham, “…[the] privilege to erect a Meeting House on his land on waters of Dove’s Creek.”

The present structure, the oldest building in Elbert County, was built in 1876. Stinchcomb Methodist still maintains a beloved tradition referred to as the “Birthday Box," a miniature replica of the church building that holds the birthday offerings of congregants.
