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.

2. A complete abstract is in Mecklenburg County, NC, Cemeteries, Vol. 1, North Mecklenburg, compiled by Pinny and Mel Cook, 2002.

The original site is now under Lake Norman. It was one half mile north of where the pipeline crosses Bethel Church Rd.

Baker Graveyard

There is much controversy over the Baker Graveyard. Please see The History of Hopewell Church for 175 Years From the Assigned Date of Its Organization, 1762, pages 314-317 for more information. The Baker Cemetery relocated by Duke Energy was not for the Baker family but possibly was the name of the preacher that buried the individuals.
