GREEN BANK UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Around 1740, the Rev. Samuel Driver came to the banks of the Mullica River. Clearing some acreage on its highest bank, he built a log cabin. Upon his death in 1748, his home became the local church and his burial on the land marked the beginning of the Green Bank Church and Cemetery. The current church was built in 1823 by Nicholas Sooy. He willed the church to his four sons and their descendants to be used as a Methodist church \'\'only and forever.\'\'
