New Hope Primitive Baptist Church

The Haynes brothers,  Henry, Jonathan, Edward and William, along with
others, came together to form the New Hope Primitive Baptist Church. Minutes
of the meetings are on file in the Genealogy Section, Carrollton, Georgia
Library. On September 24, 1830, Jonathan was appointed to a committee to
purchase land for a new meeting house. He was elected as a trustee and as a
brothers to assist in laying the new church's foundations on November 27,
1830. According to the minutes, the committee did not get the job done and
some harsh (but polite) words were exchanged. The outcome was that the new
church, named New Hope, was built east of the town that is now known as
Villa Rica, Georgia, near the present-day Atlanta Highway US-78, and the old
Pumpkintown Road crossing.  The church
must not have been completed by February 1, 1834, because church services
were held at Jonathan's home. This was the last entry of Jonathan's name in
the church meeting minutes."
