This church is the second or third of churches for Chews Chapel Church. The original Church was established in 1844 about a mile from where the current church stands today.The original land was donated by Nathaniel and Martha Chew in 1844 for the price of 1.00. Additonal land recordings support that, a colored church was established in March of 1844 and the deed was granted to the Trustees of the colored church. This deed reference was signed by Nathaniel and Martha Chew. According to church history notes, the first reference to Chews Chapel in the church class minutes on December 26, 1846 by the Class Leader Thomas Chew who, later became a Minister. The original colored church appears on the 1860's Martnet Map. According to oral history and other recently found documentations,the church had several fires in 1907,1911. This information can be found in the church minutes of The Baltimore Washington Conference. After the 1911.The congregants held services in the church hall, that was located behind the church until the new church was built on the same site in 1914. The final fire that destroyed the church occurred on Christmas Day 1946. The church community vowed to rebuild again. Once, again the church held services in the church hall that was located on the original site, until the new church was rebuilt approximatley one mile from where the old Chews Chapel stood. On August 26,1948 the newly built church held the first service. The original church was called Chews Chapel and it was located on Chews Chapel Rd. in Owensville, Maryland. The newly built church was re-named Chews Memorial United Methodist Church and the church has a cemetery located on the property. There appears to be aproximately an additional 150 to 200 un marked graves without tombstones from the appearence of the ground. My personal researched documents will be added to the burials as they are researched or when family members give addtional information of thier loved ones who, are buried in the cemetery.
