Welsh Tract Baptist Church, on Welsh Tract Road in Pencader Hundred. The church was built in 1746, and was the home to the third Baptist congregation in the United States, established in 1703. Patriot soldiers made a last stand in the churchyard during the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge in 1777, and it is believed that the church was hit by a cannonball. Those damn Brits.
