Date not established	Gold's 1914 history of Clarke County opens its chapter VIII, headed "Old Chapel and Millwood," by saying that very early in the history of Frederick County provision was made for the building of chapels and that one was built at what is now called the "Old Chapel," and that its history is given in an address delivered by Capt. Wm. N. Nelson in 1897.	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY LikelyGold names it the "Old Chapel" in a chapter headed "Old Chapel and Millwood"; no record read here places it more exactly.

Wm. N. Nelson in 1897. What the source supports What Gold says about the origin of the Old Chapel and about the address that tells its history, at the book's own level. Uncertainty Gold gives 1897 for Capt. Nelson's address; the 1906 Old Chapel book (S427) gives September 7, 1890 for Capt. William N. Nelson's historical address. The two dates are kept as printed and not reconciled. Gold names no source for the early chapel and no date for its building.

Date not established	Gold's 1914 history quotes Bishop Meade as saying that in 1834 "it was found that the Old Chapel was too small and inconvenient for the increasing congregation," that it was determined to build another and larger church "in a more central and convenient place in the vicinity of Millwood," and that "funds for the latter could not be obtained, except on condition of alternate services at the Chapel."

What the source supports What Gold prints, in Meade's name, about the 1834 decision to build a larger church near Millwood. Uncertainty Gold cites "Page 288, Volume II"; the same passage is at the top of printed p. 289 in the copy of Meade this project holds (see C1347), so Gold's page number and the held copy's differ. The lines quoted here do not name Christ Church; the new church is described only as being in the vicinity of Millwood, on ground given by Mr. George Burwell, of Carter Hall (words that follow the quoted part of that sentence). Gold is quoting Meade, so Gold and Meade are one witness for this passage.

Date not established	On printed p. 69, in the part of its chapter on the Old Chapel graveyard, Gold's 1914 history says that "each recurring spring a large number of people gather to place flowers upon the graves of those whom they love as friends and kindred and also upon those of the men who gave their lives for the cause all loved so well."	RECORD Likely	IDENTITY LikelyThe passage is in Gold's chapter on the Old Chapel, and the reviewed lines continue with "At the Old Chapel"; the sentence itself says only "Here".

What the source supports What Gold says about a yearly gathering at the graveyard, in his own words. Uncertainty "The cause all loved so well" is Gold's own 1914 wording, in the voice of a Lost Cause county history; it is reported as his voice and is not a finding of this project. The word "Here" that opens the sentence refers to the graveyard described in the lines above the reviewed crop. The 1906 Old Chapel book (S427) gives memorial services "in every summer since 1866" where Gold says "each recurring spring"; both are kept as printed. Gold also writes that the first Confederate monument from the county stands at the Old Chapel, but that sentence reaches the cropped edge and is not used here.

Date not established	The 1906 book on the Old Chapel says that, after "the removal of the congregation to Christ Church, Millwood," the history of the "Old Chapel" is "little more than a record of those who, from time to time, have gone over to the great majority"; that "Eighteen of our soldiers, who gave their lives for the cause of States rights, lie buried here"; and that memorial services "have been held here in every summer since 1866."

What the source supports What the 1906 book says about the congregation's removal and about the soldiers buried at the Old Chapel. Uncertainty The names of the eighteen are not on this page. "The cause of States rights" is the book's own Lost Cause wording and is reported as its voice. The reviewed crop does not show whose words these are: the book prints a historical sketch attributed to Capt. William N. Nelson (an address of 1890, first published in the Courier that year) and later pieces, and this page's place among them was not checked, so the statement may be older than the 1906 printing. The printed page label is spelled "Page Twelve" at the foot of the page.

Date not established	Lancaster's Historic Virginia Homes and Churches (1915), p. 453, says that "The burying ground at the old chapel is sometimes called the Burwell graveyard, not only because the Burwells gave the land upon which it lies, but because many"; the passage as reviewed breaks off there.

What the source supports That Lancaster says the burying ground at "the old chapel" is sometimes called the Burwell graveyard, and gives the Burwells' gift of the land as one reason. Uncertainty The reviewed crop names no congregation or place. That "the old chapel" is the Old Chapel near Millwood rests on Meade's pairing of the Old Chapel with "the Burwell burial-ground" (C1346) and on the book's chapter (printed p. 452, not reviewed). The sentence goes on past the crop and the second reason it begins ("but because many") was not read. No deed for the gift of the land was seen.

Date not established	Bishop Meade's Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia, vol.

II, printed p. 281, describes "Cunningham Chapel, which stood near the spot where what has been long called the Old Chapel--near the Burwell burial-ground--still stands." What the source supports That Meade places Cunningham Chapel near the spot where the Old Chapel, near the Burwell burial-ground, stands. Uncertainty Nearness only: Meade does not say that Cunningham Chapel and the Old Chapel are one congregation or one building, renamed, moved or rebuilt, and this record asserts none of that. The sentence begins above the reviewed text. The page number is that of the copy this project holds (title page 1878); other printings paginate differently.

What the source supports What Meade says about alternate services at the Old Chapel and about who still visits it and for what services. Uncertainty "Servants" is Meade's word; the passage does not say who they were or what their status was, and this record does not interpret it. The antecedent of "they" is on the page above the reviewed text. The second quotation breaks off at a comma where the reviewed text ends.
