| |
| Note: My Great, Great, Great Grandfather Ivey R. Rakestraw
and his son Allen M. Rakestraw established this church. - Angela Cato |
| |
| The establishment of Mt. Tabor was a community effort. On October 20, 1859, Andrew J. Hipps sold 2 acres of Land Lot 173, 2/3, to the trustees of the “Mt. Tabor meeting house”. Those trustees were: W. B. Miller, Ezekiel Griffin, William Griffin, J. Atcheson, and Andrew J. Hipps. In the deed it also referred to a schoolhouse on this lot. The original church was said to have been built by the slaves of Ezekiel Griffin, a trustee of the church and a successful local farmer.
