COXES Old Place

On the Midlothian Turnpike in the southwest suburbs of Richmond, VA is the Bethlehem Baptist Church. The original church was located several miles northwest and known as Cox's Meeting House officially organized July 25, 1790. Meetings were conducted there as early as May 1789. Land for the church was purchased from John Cox for two shillings "for the religious Society of People called Baptists" An abandoned cemetery, still marks the location of the Meeting House. The church name was changed to Spring Creek in 1792. In May 1813, Higgason and Elizabeth Cox sold land for $6.00 to erect a new church named the Bethlehem Meeting House which was used until 1897 and located several miles southwest of the present location.
