This map shows a "church" according to the High Tides (Volume 16 No.1, spring 1995) which is the former location of St. John's Episcopal Church before it was moved via barge in about 1909 to its current Sladesville.  There are references to a church as early as 1743 in this area. I am also hoping to find the map which shows the earlier St. John's on  Chapel Creek (previously Moses Creek).  The church shown here was rebuilt using remaining sound timbers about 1875 by Mr. Fortescue and M. Makely.  A graveyard still exists at this site.  The High Tides (spring 2015, Vol. 36No.1) discusses 300 years of Anglicanism in Hyde and gives more detail.
