Land was made available in 1831 for a Methodist church, and in 1867 a building was erected on this site as Stroud's Creek Methodist Episcopal Church. It was later named for Reverend Samuel Black. In 1892 the church building was repaired and enlarged, and in 1927 it was remodeled, with a bell installed shortly afterward. In 1969 it closed as a United Methodist Church. In 1993 the Black's Chapel Memorial Foundation purchased the property and designated it as a Memorial Church, which became the home of the Morton Reunion Descendants of Edward Morton (1764 - 1852).
