The first church on this site served Piankatank Parish (established in 1657) of the Church of England. When Piankatank and Lancaster Parishes combined to form Christ Church Parish in 1666, the building became a chapel of ease for the lower region of the new parish. The present sanctuary, completed in 1717, replaced the older chapel. After the Revolutionary War and the disestablishment of the Church of England, Baptists and Methodists worshiped here. Robert Healy purchased the property for the Methodists in 1860. Noted for its clipped gable roof and English bond brickwork, the church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Maps this old were drawn largely by eye, so places on them can sit miles from where they really are. The pin is ours and marks the marker's location today.

The Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania stands under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
