Where did South Boston. Va, get it's
name, and when was It founded?
1t is proba BILE that the old town Of Boston
was founded about the close OF the
Revolutionary War, as tho place was
not mentioned in connection with tho
crossing OF General GREEN'S army, at
Boyd's Ferry. nearby, in 1888 wide Lees

likely that the church was erected be-

then that the name was changed to

there were no warehouses for the sale

was changed, and Incorporated in 1854
