The land for Union Church and its cemetery was donated on May 21, 1868 by David Brock Newton, part of a family long rooted in southern Screven County. A century later, in 1968, his great-grandson placed a marker commemorating the gift, which had been recorded in the county deed books. The cemetery adjoins Union Baptist Church near Newington and holds several hundred graves from the surrounding farming community.
