    1. [GAJONES] Sunshine - Round Oak Church
    2. Crilley
    3. Thanks to all of you who have sent me information about this very historic Sunshine - Round Oak Church. Debra, some how I just deleted your message, and I had really wanted to add what you said. Would you please send it to me again. Remember Dr. Stewart (ancestor of Millie Stewart) the first female physician in the State of GA.... she also is connected to this church.... "Sunshine Church is Baptist, and was used during the Civil War for a Union Army Hospital, during the battle of Sunshine Church. Dr. Stewart ministered to the wounded even though were not confederate troops. She also furnished food. When trouble began about her being a "turncoat", she replied that when she took the Hippocratic oath, that it did not distinguish between the two armies. Later, a monument was erected to her on the courthouse square in Clinton." Evidently the 1st Sunshine Church was Baptist and the later church that took the name was Methodist... Virginia
