The cemetery and church are at the “T” junction. History This is listed as the oldest Episcopal Church west of the Alleghenies, founded by Rev. Joseph Doddridge in 1793. According to historical records, the original log church was burnt to the ground by Indians. A wooden structure was built on the grounds of what was the cemetery with the present Brick Church constructed in 1849. The first internment was shown as 1805. This data can be found in the genealogy section of the Citizen’s Library in Washington PA. There was no date of the survey but the last burial was shown as 1942 and thus not complete according to records on the internet. NOTE: I found spelling and data errors in the records compared to what is available on the internet. Please confirm this data before you cast it in gold.
