Two handwritten record books containing reports of the quarterly conferences and other church meetings of the O'Kelly Chapel and lists of male and female members of the congregation in various years. Some financial records are included in later years. The O'Kelly Chapel was built in 1794 by James O'Kelly and his followers in Chatham County, N.C. James O'Kelly was a follower of John Wesley and became a licensed lay minister in 1775. In 1792, he broke away from the Methodist Episcopal Church and, with his followers, formed the Christian Church in 1794. O'Kelly died in 1826 and is buried in the family cemetery at the O'Kelly Chapel.
