My records show: Ministers - Fredericksburg & Stafford County: For George W. Lightner year 1858 - Stafford Methodist Epis. South. Methodist Episcopal Church South (Fredericksburg) records available to the public are photo-duplicated and are at the CRRL. These records extend from 1871 and appear to be fairly complete. The church's history as congregation in Fredericksburg began in 1848. Except for the time when reports were not made because the church was within Federal lines in 1863 & 64, the congregation was active and still is. Located on Hanover Street. June
