According to "Record of Cemeteries in Albemarle County, Virginia Including Charlottesville, Vol. I" published by the Jack Jouett Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), 1978:

Garth Chapel is located on State Route 601 west off 29 North. It iwas built prior to 1897 by the Garth Family and is maintained by them. At the present time they are attempting to set up some sort of perpetual care. When the Charlottesville - Albemarle Airport was built a cemetery had to be moved. Permission was obtained from the families involved and those graves were moved to Garth Chapel. The earliest date on a grave marker is 1825.
