It most likely is the burial site of African-Americans, who were members of a church and/or a fraternal organization. Early members may have been associated with the Flint Hill Baptist Church and left to start their own church after the Civil War.
The church owned a 175' x 250' tract; Knights of the Guiding Star of the East Lodge No. 29 owned 87.37' by 250', and U. S. Rubber Co. owned it by June 1942, as part of a 2266.32 acre tract north of the intersection of Texland and Westinghouse; west of Texland is a ravine below the railroad track.
The church originally was near Main Street in Pineville. The old church building may have been replaced with a newer facility, now part of Davis Upholstery in Pineville. The church members later merged with other Presbyterians and now worship in west Charlotte. This church cemetery has several unmarked graves, and some graves have only stones marking a burial. The cemetery is on the west side of Sam Meeks Rd.
