Near here stood the home of Sergeant Major John Champe (1752-1798), Continental soldier. Champe faked desertion and enlisted in Benedict Arnold’s British command for the purpose of capturing the traitor. Failing in his attempt, Champe rejoined the American army. His meritorious service was attested by such patriots as General Henry (Light Horse Harry) Lee. Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission, 1983
