Taylors Creek Methodist Church was organized in 1807 by the Rev. Angus McDonald with seven members, including James Darsey, Mrs. James Darsey, and Robert Hendry. A village soon grew up around the church and for many years served as a trading center for the surrounding area. In the adjoining cemetery are the graves of the Bird, Daniels, Martin, Hendry, and other families who were part of the Taylors Creek community and whose names were prominent in the history of Georgia. The church building erected here in 1841 remained in use for 101 years, until 1942, when the United States Government took over the site as part of the Fort Stewart area.
