Micah Methodist Church Cemetery
Charles City County, Virginia

One of the four Methodist Episcopal Churches in Charles City County that were merged into one, the others being Charles City Chapel, Salem ME, and Mt Pleasant. Marker says:

"This stone, dedicated June 10, 1951, is erected on the site of Micah Methodist Episcopal Church. The first M.E. church of Charles City County and presided over by Bishop Francis Asbury the first M.E. Bishop of America. The original building erected about 1792 served the congregation until 1897 when the building was razed and replaced by a new one. Worship services were held in this building until 1948 at which time the four M.E. churches of Charles City County merged in the Memorial Methodist Church located near the county seat."

Location: Along St Rt 623 a few miles north of Hwy 5

This list of names on a memorial dated Dec 1992,
states that they are actually buried at Lower Holly Hill, Charles City Co, VA.
I do not know where this location is yet.
No headstone was found with this name,
but this small marker was located in the cemetery. It says:
