Wright's Chapel, in Northeast Nottingham, on Peters Creek, was built by Enoch Wright, who was a member of the Baptist Church, and his chapel was intended as a place of worship for members of that sect, but by reason of internal dissensions he became in 1835 a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The chapel building and lot on which it stands was willed by Enoch Wright to his son Joseph, a Methodist clergyman, who at his death gave it to the Methodist Church, to have and to hold so long as it was kept free from debt and adding the additional clause that all religious bodies were to have free use of the church, providing they were not pro-slavery. This data can be found in the genealogy section of the Citizen’s Library in Washington PA. The tombstones were read by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hoffman in 1962 ================================================================================================================== LAST NAME FIRST NAME BORN DIED AGE NOTES ================================================================================================================= Ballein John 23 Mar 1881 Civil War - Co.
