Information from Jennie Boggs:
Cleveland was the first pastor......These are in SC now. but long ago that area was still GA. so the records would be in SC. Chauga Church is out 123 (out of Westminster) toward Toccoa. Just a few miles, on the right is a store and the church sits up behind the store. The left turn would take you to the Dr. Johns Rd that leads out of Westminster.
As early as 1796, "Brother Cleveland was instructed by Sarepta Baptist Association, Georgia, to preach every third Sunday at Chogy "Chauga" Church.  Chauga Church was organized as an arm of Shoal Creek Baptist, Hart County, Georgia, with the following assisting in the rites:  Revs. John Cleveland, Dozier Thornton, Francis Callaway, Sr., Thomas Gilbert, and John Carter.  Rev.  

However to get to the church and cemetery the people had to ride a ferry across 
the river to get to it.  The ferry was near the lake side of Westminster.   Then the state line, as far as I know, was down the middle of the river. I suppose where the original church was is probably covered with water now. On up the river there was Jarret's Manor and an Indian village, then up the river a little farther was Prather's Bridge.

I have Indian beads that came from the village. A long time ago they let some 
folks go and dig for Indian relics. We just happen to be a couple of the folks.

The burial ground was there and we got to walk thru that but couldn't take 
anything on that side of the mound where we dug. But we found lots of beads, 
parts of piece pipes and musket balls. Jennie Boggs
