The DAR noted that many of the graves date from before the church was founded in 1829. Historical texts indicate that the graveyard was shared between the Methodist Episcopal and Methodist Protestant Churches but there is little other information available. The DAR described the graveyard condition as fair but lamented the number of stones that were down. This data was collected by the DAR and found in the genealogy section of the Washington PA library. The data is from 1938. The cemetery is still active so the burial records are probably not complete.
