Description
The Oaky Grove Church is part of a former tenant farm, known as Mial Plantation. Mial plantation was one of the original land grants in North Carolina. The land was aquired by Mallichi Hinton in 1761 "from Lord Granville of England". Much of the land has been sold off for residential development, but some of the farm, approximately 345 acres, is still owned and operated by members of the Mial and Williamson families, including tha land that holds the church and family cemetary. The church itself, was built in 1876, and served tha plantation and it's neighbors. Local history has it that the church was built at the request of a man's fiance, who claimed that she would not marry him until he built the church. It fell into such disrepair, that many feared that it would be lost, however minor repairs and a little fresh paint, in 2017, eased folk's concerns. This is as it stands in 2020.
