Thompson Family Cemetery

The Thompson Family Cemetery is located in Columbus County North Carolina near 
the city Limits of Whiteville.  It is a few hundred yards north of the 
intersection of Thompson Town Rd. (SR 1428) and Saw Mill Lane (SR 1458).
The Cemetery was on the agricultural holdings of the Thompson Family who moved 
to Columbus County NC from Wayne County NC in the first half of the 19th 
Century.  At the time of the survey 2/2/2002 the Cemetery is surrounded by a 
sawmill on the southwest and a small vineyard on the northeast.  The Lat/Lon 
is 34 degrees 18.415 minutes north by 78 degrees 44.228 minutes west.  The 
survey was done in linear rows starting in the northeast corner moving then to 
the southwest and then back for the next row.  All burials are noted as well 
as all inscriptions that are readable on all stones.  The survey was completed 
by Johanna Farmer, Keith Farmer, and Lynette Farmer all of 4614 Norwich Rd 
Wilmington, NC 28405.
