About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

On October 17, 1832, Robert Williamson, a Methodist minister and anti-slavery advocate, was deeded a plot of land of a little more than ⅓ of an acre on a by-road in Penn Township for the erection of a red-brick Methodist church. The land was given with the provision that when it was no longer used as a church, it should go back to the owner of the property — although it still exists as a separate parcel today.

The church was used for several decades before it was closed; in June 1866, it was reopened after being being closed for many years, remaining open until preaching was discontinued in February 16, 1874.

In the mid-1880s, a seceder congregation from the Solomon's Temple African Union Church in nearby Chatham worshipped at the former Williamson's church following a doctrinal dispute, leaving there ca. 1887.

The church building no longer remains and the cemetery is overgrown. Today, the property belongs to the Word of Life Apostolic Church of West Grove.
