Cemeteries of Mecklenburg County

Daniel-Allen Cemetery

This cemetery had 10 graves but only two with readable stones. It was to be relocated from the property of the J. A. Jones Construction Co. The County Commissioners asked that the graves be moved to the Pineville Cemetery. The information on the stones was about Henry W. Daniel of GA who gave his life for his beloved Southland 6-9-1864 and Annie Thrower, wife of H. W. Allen, who died in 1873. This was formerly near the old pump station and between U. S. 21 S. and the Southern Railway tracks. It was about 2 miles from the Starmount subdivision.

 

Galilee Church Cemetery

This cemetery has at least 17 additional stones or bricks that are unnamed or broken beyond recognition. It is very spread out and difficult to determine if there are other unmarked graves. One grave was also recently dug and has no headstone yet.  This cemetery is at the southeast side of the intersection of Nations Ford Road and the 5500 block of Radford Avenue.

Wm. J. Charles survey for the Mecklenburg Genealogy Society on 7-19-1983

The cemetery is located behind the church.

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.
