Laurens Hill, Georgia

[1][2] A post office called Laurens Hill was established in 1835 and remained in operation until 1903.

[4] The home built by David Harvard in 1835 at the crossroads of Blackshear Ferry Rd (GA Hwy 26 today) and Laurens Hill Church Rd[5] was dubbed Laurens Hill and David was its first Postmaster.

Following his death in 1865, his wife Mary (née Fish) and son Quinn also served in that capacity.

David co-founded the Laurens Hill Baptist Church which was first built on the banks of Rocky Creek at the intersection of Blackshear Ferry Rd about 1 mile southwest of the main home.

Diagonally across the street from the main home is the Harvard Family Cemetery where John and many of his descendants and their spouses are interred.
