JAMESTOWN. Address – Jamestown Road. Only a few remnants of this black community remain. The Jamestown Cemetery is co-located with the Prosperity Baptist Church, which is approximately 120 years old. It is the burial site for many African American soldiers from the Korean War and World War II, and perhaps World War I. Today, the cemetery is known as Prosperity Cemetery. The church formerly was situated a few miles away in Summit Point. It was dismantled and hauled by wagons to its current location.
