Most of the burials were filed among records for AA-126, Chew’s Memorial United Methodist Church, at the Maryland Historic Trust library.
The original Chew’s Chapel, identified as “Col’d Meth. Ch” on the 1860 Martinet map, was located just south of the Nathaniel Chew residence. According to Jessie Neal (b. 1914), lifetime member of Chew’s Church, there had been at least three church buildings. One church burned down and was re-built in 1911, at the same original site on Chew’s Chapel Road.  On December 25, 1945 that church burned down.
The new church site about a mile east of Chew’s Chapel Road and is called Chew’s Memorial United Methodist Church.
After 1947, the church hall on Chew’s Chapel Road was used as a residence by Rachel Harris until it burned sometime after 1957. The front steps of the hall are all that remain at the original church site.
