*Note from Jerry Durham - "The Virginia Point church was burned during the Civil War because the Union troops that camped there had typhoid fever.  The first church (building) was made from logs hauled from Jefferson, Texas in wagons; also did you know that behind the cemetery is a slave cemetery?   I have a lot of kin there - Amos, Price and Easterly."
