John and the other McGraws up to that point had been Baptists and John donated the land for and helped build the Pine Grove Baptist Church between Ravencliff and Glen Rogers. That's where John, Mahala, and several of their children are buried. The McGinnis family had been Methodists and there were Methodist circuit riders who came through the area, and Pearl and Pauline's grandfather Andrew Jackson Workman had also been a Methodist circuit rider.
