Hepzibah Baptist church was constituted from members of Shoel Creek Baptist chburch, and many members lived across the Tugaloo River, in Pendleton District, SC. John and Elizabeth Prestige are include in the listing of members of Shoel Creek Baptist church, Franklin Co., GA 1796-1804.In June 1797, John and Elizabeth dismissed "for constitution." The group met Nov. 1799, shoal Creek for convenience. met at Beaver Dam meeting house. Townsend Soutn Carolina baptist, 1670-1805.\\
After June 1797, when they are dismissed from the church "for constitution." no listing was found that included both John and Elizabeth Prestidge. The East Fork church record, dated August 18, 1810, seems to indicate taht John Prestige and Elizbath did not move to Amite county, MS. Those mentioned in the East Fork Baptist church record are probably their son John Prestidge and his wife Ally/AAlsy, Hannah Denman, their daughter.

Prestridge land on Hudson River is mentioned until 1823, suggesting that one of the Prestridges remained in Georgia. This along with the above 1810 and 1813 Tax records indicates taht John and Elizabeth stayed in Georgia and seems to answer the question that has puzzled researchers for years about whether or not they emigrated to Mississippi about 1810 with their children.
