Boykin Methodist Church, built ca. 1827—1830, was constructed by members of the Robert and John Boykin families. At one time, Lauchlin McLaurin, father of Gov. Anselm McLaurin, worshipped here. The congregation was active until about 1928. The adjacent cemetery also served the now extinct Boykin Church community.
