Isaac B. (1802-1880) and Mary H. (1816-1887) Webb and their family came to this area of the Peters Colony in 1844. Within a year, the couple led in the formation of a Methodist Society, the first church organized in Dallas County. A log structure, known as Webb Chapel, that also served as the first school of this growing settlement, was built in 1846. The churchyard became a cemetery when the Webb's seven-year-old daughter, Alice, fell ill and died in 1847. The Webb family and their descendants are buried at this site that today is administered by the Webb Chapel Cemetery Association.
