Regarding Waynesboro Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
this page online
The congregation was first established in 1820, soon after the formation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and only a year after the final establishment of Wayne County. In 1821, the city of Waynesboro was founded, although it was not incorporated until 1852. The area began to develop more around 1844 when the old Central Turnpike from Columbia to Clifton was built. Church records indicate that an earlier structure was used before the present edifice was constructed; however, there is no record of its location. The present building was constructed in 1854, according to records of the Masonic Lodge which shared the building for many years.
