Do you know of Ephesus ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Ephesus. 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 Ephesus.<1>

Our sources for Ephesus (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 Ephesus other than they indicate that Ephesus would be found somewhere in Bedford County, Virginia.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1897 and closed  in 1906.
