Rooty Creek Primitive Baptist Church in Putnam County

The congregation was established around 1810 by a group of Georgia "Refugees". The founding member was a James McGinty who had emigrated here from NC as a result of the first land grant after the Creek Treaty. There is very little infor published on the church but in 1863 the Ocmulgee Baptist Association held their meeting here. This is not the first church on the site but it is very possible that this structure was extent at that time. The earliest date I have found for it's construction was 1871. It could also be later in the 18th century as records are sketchy.
