Stinchcomb Methodist Church

Stinchcomb Methodist Church was one of the first churches in this section of the state. On Dec. 30, 1794, Middleton Wood granted to Absalom Stinchcomb, John Gatewood and John Ham the privilege to erect a meeting house on his land on waters of Dove Creek. The first building was a log structure. By the 1850s the church had acquired surrounding property. The present building has been in continuous use for over 100 years. Its sills are handhewn, 14 inches square. Among the old graves in the churchyard cemetery is that of Dionysius Oliver, a Revolutionary soldier.
