Cemeteries of Mecklenburg County

Centre Presbyterian Church & Cemetery

This church is no longer in Mecklenburg Co. and has been included because the members first met 2 miles north of Davidson College in the Osbornes Meeting House and organized in 1765. The name was chosen because of its relation to other settlements. The original building was destroyed by fire in 1775 and Centre was rebuilt in its present location.

Chapel Hill Missionary Baptist Church

The church was rebuilt in 1920 and 1985. Some surnames are Rush, Trapp, Nealy, Adams, Caldwell, Gibson and Connor. This is not a complete list of burial records. The cemetery is on the side of the church and is visible from the road.

Back Creek A. R. Presbyterian Church & Cemetery

This cemetery contains burials prior to 1850. The list included in this site is incomplete and was abstracted by Mary Beth Gatza and Mr. J. E. Kirk. Some burials that were recorded by Mary Elizabeth Harris and loaned to Eunice P. Ireland were published in the Olde Mecklenburg Genealogical Society Quarterly, 1990, Vol. 8, #3 and #4. The first cemetery is near the end of Camp Stewart Rd., which is depicted in the first photograph. The second cemetery is by the church, near the intersection of Hwy. 49 and Back Creek Rd. It is visible from the street.

Caldwell Family Cemetery

The graves were relocated to the McKendree Methodist Church Cemetery in Iredell Co., NC. Earliest burial was 1801.
