Abstract:

"A Williamsboro native reflects on growing up near Old Saint John 's Episcopal Church, a place defined by long history and dedicated caretakers." Built in Williamsboro or the community originally called Nutbush., Saint John's construction dates to 1773. It is believed that some of Cornwallis's troops slept in the building on their way to Virginia. After being abandoned nearly 50 years, the building was restored in the 1950s.
