N.C.] Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2000 16:45:23 EDT Charlotte, The cemetery is at the corner of Friendly Avenue and New Garden Road, across the road from the campus of Guilford College. The present New Garden Meeting House (1961) is on property adjoining the cemetery.The cemetery dates to 1754. I have a book "New Garden Cemetery" edited by Denzel Hinshaw Dickerson and published in 1994 by the New Garden Cemetery Association. The book includes a history of the cemetery, lists all of the tombstone inscriptions that were legible at that time, and records of others buried there but for whom no tombstones are found. The earliest legible stone was dated 1787. There is a 1895 photo which shows many stones in the old section. However, as has been pointed out, there would have been many early unmarked graves. I am willing to do lookups as time permits. Jim Barbee ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
