African slaves lived, worked, worshipped, and died here at April in 1857. Twenty-three were baptized members of the Pea River Presbyterian Church: Moses, Dilley, Hanner Mary, Calvin, Sarah Henry, Anakey, Hannah Handy, Patience, Primus Jack, Pinkney, Townson Lettuce, Lucinda, George Napsey, Salley, Minnis, Elizabeth, Thomas, and Truly. They are free at last.
