Do you know of Baptist Valley ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Baptist Valley. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Baptist Valley.<1>

Our sources for Baptist Valley (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Baptist Valley other than they indicate that Baptist Valley would be found somewhere in Tazewell County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1845 and closed  in 1907.
