Clinton Methodist Church |
This is the first Methodist church and the second church established in Jones County. Land was appropriated in 1810. and on 14 July 1821 a deed to the Clinton Methodist was made effective. The church was "a frame house of good dimensions with substantial stone steps of native granite." A gallery for slaves was removed in 1897. The chandelier and brass wall brackets originally held kerosene lamps. Among the early pastors were Dr. Lovick Pierce and Reverand James Payne. - from historical marker |
