Sandra, I wonder if this Washington Meeting House is located in East Fallowfield Twp., Chester Co., PA? If you recall a few weeks ago I was looking for the exact location of Modes School house and Washington Meeting house in East Fallowfield. I found these two names in a deed of Joseph Foose, John Allison, John Lilley and Joshua Ledum. The deed is dated the 31st day of March 1853. Milly
This wasn't actually a meeting house....it was, instead, a group of Methodists that met in the Washington School house. Methodists of the time just didn't have churches, per se.....most met in, as described earlier, a barn, a group of pine trees on the back of someone's farm, and, in this case, a local school. This said, I can tell you that Doe Run is very close to East Fallowfield, on today's map. Futhey and Cope say that the Washington School was located "in the woods southeast of the position of the present church building.".....(this was written in 1889). This school was built on the land of Jacob Myers, members of the Lutheran Church." Sandra I wonder if this Washington Meeting House is located in East Fallowfield Twp., Chester Co., PA?
