HEBRON BAPTIST CHURCH
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, 1818, to Isaac Morgan, Deacon, "for an 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.
