Cemetery Location:  City of Boydton
                    Mecklenburg County, Virginia


DATE:

1824.

OWNERS:

Church.

DESCRIPTION:

The original building stands as built, in splendid preservation and in regular 
use for worship.

The cemetery is well kept and family sections are marked by cemetery fencing 
that has stood so long that the graves can no longer be told one from the other 
and the gate inscription is practically gone.  The graves in these sections were 
not marked by stones.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

The following are some inscriptions from tombstones that mark the graves of some 
of Mecklenburg’s most prominent sons and daughters, of that day, buried in this 
cemetery.
