There is another Poplar Springs Baptist Church in the State Road area near Elkin which people often get confused with this church.

This was a full and complete survey of burials (with grave photos) in the month of May 2013. The original survey was conducted in the summer of 2002, but without photos. Between 2002 and 2013 the western part of the cemetery had some grading over of old field stone graves and any burials that were there are now lost. The original survey started at the southwest corner of the cemetery and worked in a zig-zag fashion toward the back of the cemetery at the woods. There were several ground depressions suggesting old burials and some burials were not found but have been added from death records showing they are buried here. Some initials on markers have been changed to actual names if known, and some burials have actual day, month and year of birth or death even if markers only showed the year.

As with any research, if you believe any information on a burial is incorrect please let us know and we'll be glad to change it.
