Hi, While I have had these records for over 20 years, I did not realize how much history was in this little bit of information that I hold. I copied the entire book of *Mecklenburg Signers*, I think is the name, of which there is *not*an index. Did not write down the name but it is written by S. Worth Ray. The following text will be exactly as written and that is all there is of it. It is not the whole cemetery. I hope some of you can use it as I believe that this is not on the internet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This ancient burial ground is in Lancaster County, Soth Caroina, but there was the time, doubtless, when it was considered a part of MECKLENBURG COUNTY, in North Carolina, when the locatin of the dividing line between the two Carolinas were undertermined and in doubt. In that section of this volume dealing with deeds to lands and wills registered at Charlotte Courthouse will be found many relating to lands on Waxhaw Creek and in what was called *Waxhaws* in Mecklenburg County. For that reason, and for the further reason that the names found on the list are of great historical interest, the inscriptions below are taken from the tombstones and included in this work. It is a rare list, but like others we have presented herein, not all of the inscriptions are included, but only these, in most instances, having relation to families who it is believe, or their kin, resided in Mecklenburg County. In other words, the inscriptions copied & given below relate to the "neighbors" of the Mecklenburg Signers: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WILLIAM R. DAVIE, the Soldier, Jurist, jStatesman, born in EDINBURG, SCOTLAND in 1756; died in South Carolina in 1820. HYDER A. DAVIE ; born October 29, 1786; died June 17, 1848.
