James Hardy was the original promoter of that church and he gave the ground on which it stood for many years. When the church was finished, it was found to be on land owned by Dr. Thompson, who was a devoted Presbyterian. The mistake was brought to his attention, he immediately deeded a sufficient part of his property to the church to set the matter right. Mr. Hardy came to the section early in the 19th century (1800s) and his son Richard Baxter Hardy, was born at the family homestead near the church in 1812. The old house is now occupied by the daughter of Rev. R.B. Hardy, Mrs. G.W. Hodges. Around the church there was in early times a great camp meeting grounds, said by some people to have been the oldest in the state. The abandoned house of worship, surrounded by its ancient grave yard, stands desolate, a shade of the past. by: Louise Ayer VandriverCEMETERY HISTORY: ------------------------ Bethesda Methodist Episcopal Church was founded about 1850--in a brush arbor. A later log structure was used until 1871 when the Captain Norris family and Richard Hardy gave land for a church and cemetery. A wood building was used on that property until 1896 (that property was about three miles northwest of Starr on old Rock Mill Road (look at http://www.rootsweb.com/~scandrsn/maps/savannah.html in Quadrant #7 to see where it was). In 1895 the church built a new church in Starr on land given by Preston B. Allen, husband of Bessie Jones. In the early 1900s the name was changed to Starr United Methodist. In 1920 Bessie Jones Allen McCalla paid for remodeling and the addition of more Sunday School rooms. In 1984 Anna Dean Pennington had the interior completely refurbished and a fellowship hall was added. I don't think there's a cemetery there. Bessie and Preston Allen are at Starr Baptist and you'd think they'd be at the Methodist Church if there were a cemetery. Anyway, Bethesda Methodist became Starr Methodist.... by: Rebecca Akins
My 3rd greatgrandfather was the Rev. Baxter Hayes, 1824-1898, who was long time minister at Mt. Creek (and several other Baptist Churches in that area) his brother was Weston Hayes a school teacher in that area who was mentioned in one of the pieces that David sent. They had a nephew Richard Baxter Hayes (1858-1937) who was another Baptist minister in the area. That Richard Baxter Hayes' wife was Mollie Hodge. by: Beverly Peoples
