WILKINSON COUNTY GA Salem Methodist Church Cemetery File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by gperdue@mindspring.com Gervaise W. Perdue SALEM METHODIST CHURCH CEMETERY is located on Land Lot 300, District 2, Wilkinson County, GA. Little Sandy Branch runs through this property. William Wynn, Jr. (1790-1870) donated the land for the church. I recorded only those graves of persons that were Wynns or who I knew were related...which represented most of the graves there. There is a slave section in the cemetery. If anyone finds an error, please email me Tina, you have my permission to post this on the Wilkinson list as there are other relationships that might help someone.

[Source: a relative who knew them] THIS CONCLUDES ALL THE TOMBSTONE INSCRIPTIONS THAT I COPIED FROM SALEM METHODIST CHURCH CEMETERY, WILKINSON COUNTY, GEORGIA. ---Gervaise Wynn Perdue ------------------ There are two more pages that I copied from the Salem Cemetery. I will post those as my time permits. I would appreciate it if any of you who read this and know who those are that I don't know would send me their relationships to our Wynn/Hinson family. I had planned to put everything I have into a book on my "two" Wynn ancestors, but probably won't have the time. I plan to try. More importantly is that each of us needs to research the older William Wynn, Sr., born 1760-1770 that was in Wilkinson County in 1820, 1830 and 1840. He obviously married Elizabeth Echols based on the Laurens County, GA history. I have proven everything back to him and that is where "We need to concentrate!"
