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.
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.
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.
