Rocky Oak Church - 1745The above homestead maps show a Rocky Oak Church just southwest of Flat Rock, on the edge of John Maxey Sr.'s land. A sliver of land containing the church has been marked off, indicating John may have deeded the land to the church. The interesting thing is the church is still there. It's in private hands, rented to religious organizations from time to time for a meeting place. A cemetery with some Maxey graves is adjacent to the church. Here are recent photographs of the church, the front door, and the "restroom".
