In 1836 Thomas Crow cleared land and built a house
(which is still standing
and occupied) near the Poplar Springs church which was already established.
During a battle of the war between the states, Poplar Springs
church was
burned, presumably by shell fire. The present building replaced the one burned.
Early members of the congregation were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Crow,
Mr. and Mrs.
Silas King, Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Kettles and Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Murphy.
Thomas Crow was a charter member of the North Georgia Baptist
Association and
suggested its name. Two of the three churches which composed the association
were Macedonia church at Dawnville and Poplar Springs.
Among pastors of Poplar Springs were A. B. Nuckols, T. A. Higdon,
J. T.
Fincher, J. M. Stansberry, W. H. Davenport, Wm. Clonts, Joe Padgett and Charlie
Maples.
