History

The Shiloh Baptist Church, constituted in 1840, is located thirteen miles NE of Ft. Gaines on the Ft. Gaines-Cotton-Hill-Cuthbert Road. The first pastor of the chuch was Rev. Thomas Muse.

During the pastorate of Rev. James Cumbie, 1865-1869, the church was moved to Cotton Hill. In 1882 that building was torn down and a new one put at the present site of the church.
