From "Histories of Religious Communities of Howard Co."

Melville Chapel is one of the oldest churches in American Methodism, founded in 1772. A brick church
was built in the summer of 1834 and was dedicated as "Melville Chaple". It is believed the church
was named for a Methodist Circuit rider, Melville B. Cox, who was described by contemporaries as a
"very Promising, intelligent and lovely man--full of heroic Christain Zeal" who came from
Maine to ride circuits and preach in Maryland in 1826 and 1827.
