- Historical note:
- The village of Ansonville was established in 1844 by local planters to support the newly founded Carolina Female College. The first Episcopalians came to Ansonville about 1859. Among the first was Mary B. Smith the wife of the Confederate General W. A. Smith. The Episcopal followers held service at the Masonic hall and later at the general's home "The Oaks." The first clergyman was the Reverend Mr. Green. The lot on which the church was built was deeded to the trustees of the church by General Smith and his wife in 1896 for the amount of one dollar. Th general died in 1936, leaving a trust fund to the church. The church is one of the few early buildings remaining in Ansonville.
- Architectural note:
- Located off Highway 52, beside the Old Fanning Road (named for the notorious regulator David Fanning) in Ansonville, the foundation for the building was laid, and a wooden church was built in 1880 from pine lumber from the Carter Plantation in the Piny Woods. A cyclone struck the church, throwing it from its foundation. Iron rods were installed which are still visible. About 1895 the walls were laid with stone masonry over the old structure and the tower built. The stone came from a quarry just east of Ansonville and the masonry work was done by John Keelyn, a member of the congregation.
