Comments:  Union Baptist Church is the oldest African-American congregation in the Scottsville area and was organized in 1865 by the Reverends Henry Smith and John A. Doll.  Located on Hardware Street, this church was designed by Rev. Houston Perry and constructed by Perry and John Dickerson of nearby Columbia, VA.  The building was completed in 1954 and replaced the congregation's smaller, woodframe church further down the hill near the church's cemetery (just south of the current Union Baptist Church on Hardware Street). 

Following is a July 2007 listing of the extant gravestones at Union Baptist Church Cemetery as prepared by Rob Manoso, an intern at Scottsville Museum from the Institute for Public History at the University of Virginia.  Women are listed by their married names.  Also, asterisks (*) that appear before names denote veterans.  In 2007, approximately twelve graves are marked with stones or temporary markers whose inscriptions are now illegible.
