INTRODUCTION


We, the Mecklenburg County Daughters of the American Revolution Chapters, Alexandriana, Gen. Robert Irwin and Jane Parks McDowell, have listed herein names of people buried in family plots and former church cemeteries, many of whom we be- lieve to have been hitherto unlisted. We present this bookiet with the sincere wish that it will a- waken an interest in old cemeteries, and especially in their care and restoration. It is appalling to see the broken and fallen stones and unkept con- dition of some of these old graves of the people who helped in the founding of Mecklenburg County.


It is our desire to reset these fallen stones and give to these graves the care they deserve.


For further information contact Mrs. J. R. Miller, Pineville, N. C. or Mrs. R. E. McDowell, Route 2, Charlotte, N. C.

The Ashcraft cemetery is located out of Mint Hill. It was behind the old Ashcraft School, therefore called "Ash- craft." To reach it, go out Highway #51, turn on #218 un- til reaching a paved crossroads with Brief Road bearing to the left. Mr. Walter Linker lives a very short distance up Brief Road on the right; a dirt road across the road leads to the cemetery which is located in a group of trees.
