Coggins Point *
end of Coggins Point Road (SR693), Hopewell, VA (private property) The road runs off Moody St (SR641), which is off VA10.
Although missing for years, there was once a Virginia historical marker (probably located on VA10) which read, in part:
"Coggin's Point
Four miles north on the James River
When Benedict Arnold fell back down the James after his raid to Richmond, Baron Steuben, at Coggin's Point, observed his fleet, January 10, 1781."
There was also reference to a Civil War action that took place on the Point.
