     Directions: From Burgettstown follow PA-18 N for 4.5 mi, turn left at 
Steubenville Pike (old Rt. 22) for 2.2 miles, cemetery is on the right just 
past the Church. The cemetery is about 2.5 files before Paris. (The Chestnut
Ridge Cemetery is on the opposite side of the road.)

     This church (Methodist Episcopal) whose place of worship is the "Tucker 
Meetinghouse," was organized in 1824, by the Rev. Thomas Jamison. The original 
members were John Tucker and his wife, Jonathan Tucker and wife, James Jackson, 
and Elizabeth and Jane Hanlin. A small class had been formed previous to this 
time, and meetings were held in the house of Jonathan Tucker. 

     A lot of land was purchased of John Tucker, situated on the Pittsburgh and 
Steubenville turnpike midway between Florence and Paris, and a stone meeting-house 
was built, which has been in use to the present time. The society has now under 
consultation the proposition to erect a new building in place of the present one. 

     This data was collected by the DAR and found in the genealogy section of the 
Washington PA library. The data is from 1937 so the burial records are not complete.
