Hampton VA Description:
"Here is the site of the New Church of Kecoughtan,
built before 1667 on Pembroke Farm as the third church of
Elizabeth City Parish, established in 1610. It was a frame
building and its brick foundation and some early colonial

1691, this church lay outside it, and in 1727 was ordered
to be replaced by a fourth parish church within the town,
the existing St. John's Church, Hampton."
