Records of the Goodhope Primitive Baptist Church

County Highway 63

Covington County, Alabama

(located in section no. 1, township 6 north, range 16 East)

We have transcribed these papers to the best of our abilities to read and make out each one. Some of the copies were not good. So we have done the best we can. Each entry is as close to the way it was written as possible. We tried not to change even the misspelled words or add or subtract punctuation. Some portions of pages were missing and some words undecipherable. In such cases we have left question marks or (unreadable word) instead.

There are supposedly earlier records for the church, as well as, a personal journal kept by Daniel Dozier. As of this date we have not been able to locate them. They were not being kept with these records. If anyone has an idea where these records might be, we would appreciate your letting us know by contacting us directly or through a post on "Tracking Your Roots."
