In doing some of our Genealogy I found that a few of our GGGGGGGrate Grandfathers were from Virginia. In 1658 one named Ball settled in Northumberland County and was a farmer and a pastor in a church 60 miles north of us along the Virginia coast. I was able to find the old church and got a photo of it. Unfortunately it is not the same building. The first 2 burned down but each time the members rebuild the church, they build in the same style as the first.The bottem of the sign reads: "CIRCA 1645"
That is the year it was first built.

That's really neat you get to see all those places. Cute little church! Glad you're enjoying all the geneology.
