Irwinton Methodist Chapel

     The Old Methodist Chapel in Irwinton was established before 1828.  The Irwinton Baptist and  Methodist Churchs were burned around 1853. (Note: The Irwinton Free Church (later Union Church) was established in Feb. 1854,  therefore the church fires probably happened in 1853.). The Methodist then shared  the Irwinton Free Church, now the Union Church with the Baptist and Presbyterians.  Some of the early members were: Green B. Burney, Thomas N. Beall, Dr. William Fisher, Judge J. C. Bower, Samuel Beall, W. I. Chambers, E. J. Gilbert, George W. Tarpley.  See Union Church.
