I have some new information on the Unnamed Cemetery in Andrews North Carolina the farm of J.P. Whitaker
My name is Danny Griffith and my Great, Great, Great, Great Grandfather is burried on that farm. His name is Solomon Newton Griffith, Sr. and he died in November 1847 at the age of 28.
While visiting the site recently we were looking for his grave marker, we did not find it, BUT we did find a grave marker that read:
JANE MORROW 1841
That makes 3 known graves on that property and I feel there must be more and I'd like to see it marked as a Cemetery and a placque or something telling the peoples names that are known to be buried there, however this is private property and the owner of the property was kind enough to let us look this weekend.
NAME BORN DIED NOTES Solomon Griffith Nov. 1847 Age 28 Sarah Patterson July 27,1791 Oct. 11, 1817 Jane Morrow 1841
I hope this information helps in getting more research done on this particular grave site.
Thank You,
Danny Griffith
