Regarding Rodney Presbyterian Church. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Rodney Presbyterian Church, located in the old abandoned river town of Rodney, Jefferson County, probably had its beginning 1828, when the Mississippi Legislature granted a charter of incorporation to the “Presbyterian Church of Petit Gulf,” January 26, 1828.… However, shortly after the churches received their charters, the town was incorporated by the legislature (February 13, 1828), specifying that the community be known as Rodney rather than Petit Gulf.
