About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Creek Church was the upper church in Drysdale Parish, Caroline County, Virginia, in place by 10 November 1749. It replaced Ivy Church. It was very likely a frame structure.

The church was abandoned following the American Revolutionary War.

The church has been referred to incorrectly as "Joy Creek Church" which represents confusion of Ivy Church with Creek Church and a misreading of colonial handwriting ("Joy" instead of Ivy).
