Franklin County OHArchives - Madison-Truro Cemetery (AKA Truro Presbyterian Cemetery) ************************************************ Copyright.

Also known as Truro Presbyterian, this cemetery was established in 1820 with about 2 acres of land at the site of the Truro Presbyterian Church, once one of the strongest Presbyterian churches in the region. The land for the church and cemetery was donated by a man named William Patterson. His daughter Jane Patterson became the first burial in the graveyard, just two weeks after she urged her father to lay out the burying-ground so that if there was a death in the community, they would not have to be buried elsewhere. Several veterans from the Revolutionary War and War of 1812 buried here. There are two fenced sections within the cemetery, one is the relocated Taylor Cemetery and we are unsure why the second section is fenced. Records indicate that at least 162 people buried here and that the last burial occurred in 1894. A note of reference in the cemetery records stated that many of the people who might be expected to have been buried in Truro Cemetery are to be found, instead, in Obetz. We're not too sure what this means. If you have any further information, please email jason@ohioexploration.com. Madison-Truro Cemetery is located near Noe-Bixby Road & Chatterton Road in Columbus; Franklin County.
