Lawing School Rd. Cemetery

There are several unmarked graves. Some are marked with a variety of objects - a stone, a cross attached to concrete, etc., but they have no names or dates. Research June White thinks there may be two different church cemeteries near each other. The earlier cemetery is slightly north of this known cemetery. For this reason, the name Lawing School Rd. Cemetery will remain. The current owner is the Mt. Pleasant AME Zion Church, 1100 Fox Run Dr., Charlotte, NC 28212. The street is very short, and the cemetery is visible from the street.

Alexander Slave Cemetery

Please see the survey done by the Charlotte - Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission (www.cmhpf.org). A marker has been placed near the entrance to the apartment complex designating the location of the slave cemetery and is shown in the photo. It is to the left and back of the property, when you enter the Thornberry Apt. complex. It has a black wrought iron fence surrounding the property and has small wire flags marking the places that appear to be graves.

Antioch Baptist Church

The original church was formed from the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church in 1886. It purchased the property from the estate of Pat Hall on 11-23-1895. The first building was constructed in 1900. It was replaced in 1922. The cemetery became inactive.

Arlington Baptist Church Cemetery

The church was established in 1880. It was in what was then called Allen, NC, but it is now part of Charlotte. The Carolina Room has listings of those buried before Spring 2001. This survey was done by Paula Griffin. The cemetery is to the right of the church and is visible from Arlington Church Rd.

Asbury United Methodist Church

  

Mr. Charles wrote that it was originally known as Bethesda Methodist in 1814, near its present site. For information about the older cemetery, see Bethesda Methodist Church Cemetery.
