Caldwell, , in October 2011 This page was last updated: 20 October 2011 Doddridge Cemetery (also known as the Log Pile Cemetery) Independence Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania According to the cemetery database in the Washington County PAGenWeb Genealogy Project, the Doddridge Chapel Cemetery is located 1 mile south of Rt. 844 and 3 miles west of West Middletown. The below Lat/Lon is approximate based on these directions Lat: 40°14'14.40"N, Lon: 80°29'1.30"W According to the Boyd Crumrine's, "History of Washington County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Sketches of Many of Its Pioneers and Prominent Men" (Philadelphia: L. H. Leverts & Co., 1882), The Old Doddridge Chapel is on the Reeves farm (originally the Doddridge property) and is the site of a house of worship that was erected by the Rev. Joseph Doddridge, though the date of its erection is not known. It afterwards came into possession of the Methodist Episcopal denomination, and was by them used for the holding of their services. Later it became the place of worship of the African Methodist Episcopal congregation, who used it for several years, but it was given up by them and abandoned when they purchased the Wesley, a church building in West Middletown, about 1860. It was then taken down, and the logs removed to the McConnell farm adjoining. An old burial-ground, adjoining the site of this old meeting-house, is still inclosed, though not in use for its original purpose.
