Rocky Mount Presbyterian Cemetery, 1851-1965

Rocky Mount Presbyterian Cemetery, 1851-1965

9 years ago I stumbled upon this gem of a book as I was working locating where some of my ancestors were buried. Family records said they were buried at Rocky Mount but there was no documentation. I traveled over 1000 miles with my parents and uncle to visit Rocky Mount Cemetery in person. What I discovered was that there were a lot of unmarked graves. Wooden crosses, empty divots in the ground and simple markers listing only Mama or Baby. The posted chart at the front of the cemetery was incomplete at best. 

I stumbled upon this little beauty miraculously. I have to get credit to the sweet smiles of my dad and uncle in helping find it. This book published in 1965 by John Maxwell Wilson shows the names and locations of those buried in unmarked graves. While my great- great grandparents had beautiful headstones, my great grand parents were in unmarked graves. Finally we know where they are!

The copies I made are incomplete. I just ran out of time. I copied what I needed for my family line and then copied as much as I could after that.

I have scanned in what I have HERE

You will notice one of the pages of the cemetery plot map is faded, sadly that's how it was in the book.

UPDATE: PAGE 54!
