Brinson Rock Baptist Cemetery
Jenkins County, Georgia

Lat: 32°45'47"N, Lon: 81°53'32"W

Contributed by Larry L. Ketchum, Mar 10, 2003 [xgkids@maqs.net] Total records = 17.

From Millen, GA, go east approximately .5 mile on Hwy 21 to Paramore Hill Rd.; turn right and go 3.25 miles to intersection with Dickey Rd. Church and cemetery are located on the northeast side of this intersection.

This is an African-American cemetery which is owned and maintained by the Brinson Rock Baptist Church. It appears to be active.

I have transcribed Feb 25, 1998 from all known tombstones.
