Kent, You may be seeing a reference to the Disciples of Christ. It originated out of Barton Stone and Alexander Campbell in the early Second Great Awakening and really thrived in Kentucky and Tennessee. Not sure how influential in Virginia though. An email to the Lexington Theological Seminary (Charlie Heaberlin) asking about church locations in Virginia during that time (provided you know the location of this one) might glean more specific results.

I found the it noted in a document where a bond was posted for a minister and his church was referred to as the "Christian Church" with no other mention of demomination.
