St. Mary's Chapel Cemetery

Six Miles East, Northeast of Hillsborough, North Carolina

The first St. Mary's Chapel, established in 1759, was located in the
northeast corner of the walled cemetery lot.  The second chapel, located
approximately 400 feet northwest of the original chapel, was constructed in
1859.

The cemetery, approximately one acre in size, contains a large number of
graves without identifying markers. The following list of graves is based on
compilation made during 1937 and 1940 by the Historical Records Survey of
North Carolina, re-checked in September 1960.

N. B. :  Excerpts from the Hillsborough Recorder:
1836  Oct. 14 - The Commissioners let bids for building of a stone wall
around graveyard
at St. Mary's.

Transcriber's note: This data was copied from a typed 3 page document I
copied at the North Carolina State Archives in 1980.  A telephone to the
Rector of St. Mary's in 1985 revealed the Nichols and Riggs families, my
ancestors were instrumental in the formation of the church and a silver
chalice is still in their possession that was given the church by George
Riggs.
