I have heard for a long time that many migrants from central North Carolina (Rowan County) settled in Union County, IL. And that many cemeteries were full of old gravesites that headstones are maeked "born Rowan County". Anyone have any help in where these cemeteries are?

St. John's Lutheran Cemetery South of Jonesboro, and Campground Church Cemetery east of Anna are two that I know have immigrants from Rowan County.
