Henderlite Memorial Presbyterian Church

About the year 1915, Rev. R.E Henderlite began mission work in Hyde County, N.C. Previous to this Rev. J.H. Jarvis had done good work for several years and had organized a church at Calvary near Swan Quarter. Brother Henderlite was much beloved and preached pretty much all over the county. At one time there was a church organization at Makeleyville near Sladesville in Currituck townshop. After R.E. Henderlite's health failed in 1920, Rev. H.H. Leach took up the work for several years. Following him was Rev. I.N. Clegg and in 1925 a commission was appointed by Albemarle Presbytery to organize a church in Currituck Township. Below is a clipping from the printed minutes of the Presbytery which met in Rocky Mount, N.C. on Oct. 27, 1925.

Ministers who continued to serve this church until 1940 were: Revs. J.T. Wildman, H.M. Wilson, B.F. Ormand, Henry L. Carr and T.L. Harnsberger. The membership increased to 51 and regular Sunday School sessions were well attended for several years. However, when membership decreased greatly the church was disbanded and the property was sold for a private home which burned shortly afterwards.

The church was originally located between Sladesville and Germanton near the Henry Spencer Store on Germanton Road. The land was given by Mr. Beamon Watson and the building constructed by the members and other people in the community with John Sadler as the head carpenter.
