HISTORY:

The Antioch Baptist Church was established in Jackson County during the year of 1870. The Church and Cemetery are located in the NW/4 of the SE/4 of Section 26, T6S-R8W. The land on which the cemetery is located belonged to Pierre Quave (1808-1889) and Marie Ladner Quave (1810-1888) for many years. In February 1880, Pierre Quave conveyed the NE/4 of the SE/4, SE/4 of the NE/4 and the NW/4 of the SE/4 of Section 26 to his son, Usant Quave (1834-1889) (Jackson County, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 5, p. 443).

The Antioch Baptist Church received the following lands from Usant Quave and his wife, Mamie Sarah Davis (1840-1908), on June 17, 1887, described as:

one hundred feet east of the Church, one hundred feet north, south to the land owned by J.J. Dickson, and west to the lands owned by W.H. Nobles, all in Section 26, T6S-R8W.(JXCO, Ms. Land Deed Bk. 32, p. 311)
