Carroll's Methodist Church

Instituted in 1797, Carroll's Methodist Church was named for the William Carroll family, among its first members. Families identified with the church through the years included the McWhorters, Osborns, Starrs, Stones, Browns, Burtons, Sewells, Jacksons, Hemphills, Deans, Buffingtons, Cheeks, Mabrys, Turmans, Stricklands, Carsons, Hayes, Greens, Millers, and many others. The present building, erected about 1835, was restored in 1951-52 under the leadership of Bishop John H. Baker. Rev. Nelson Osborn (1797-1873) was a lifelong member and minister for many years, and a number of other well-known Georgia ministers also served the church.
