In 1770 Hans Supplee donated a small tract of land for the erection of a place of worship. Bethel Hill is recognized as the second oldest Methodist Church in Pennsylvania. The original church was a stone chapel on the land which later became the cemetery. After the Battle of Germantown, Washington's army retreated using Bethlehem Pike, Skippack Pike and Germantown Pike carrying wounded and dying soldiers. The chapel was used as a hospital. Many died and were buried in the west corner of the cemetery. The DAR placed a gravestone in memory.of the unknown soldiers in 1975. The area where the chapel once stood is still visible in the cemetery. There are no graves in that area and there is a map at the cemetery gate which identifies the location.
