Near here stood the church of James Waddel, the blind Presbyterian preacher. Waddel, who had been a minister in the Northern Neck and elsewhere, came here about 1785 and died here in 1805. In 1803, William Wirt stopped to hear a sermon and was impressed by Waddel's eloquence, later making it the subject of a classic essay.
