Hendricks Missionary Baptist Church did not come into the picture until the 1890's. Some people use the terms "old and new" sections of the cemetery. The tract of land was sold in about 1877 or so to a group forming a church at Hendricks, Georgia for the Methodist Episcopal Church of the South. The church apparently was to be built at or very near where Hendricks Missionary Baptist Church is located. Checking the Upson County History Book, there is an account for Bethel Methodist Church at Hendricks, Georgia. James Zorn referred to Bethel Cemetery in his will of 1880.
