“Onin’s M. E. Chapel, better known as “Gulley Swamp Chapel,” was located two and one-quarter miles north of Coverdale’s Crossroads. The site was donated on Mar. 1, 1844, by Tilghman Layton and the chapel was built during that year. Services were held until I860. At that time the membership transferred to Chaplain’s Chapel. There was a camp-ground beside the chapel and camp-meetings were held until more recent times. There is no evidence of the camp today and the chapel was moved away to become a farm building.” (1)
