Old Indian Cemetery

Section 1. Go .3 mile east on SR 144 to Rooker Rd., 
south .5 mile to hill on right side of road. Indian 
burial site was located on top of the hill; was 
destroyed in 1994 by new construction.

Even before this cemetery was destroyed for construction,
it was no more then a place in the woods.
My previous inlaws own the land next to it and what was
considered the Indian Cemetery was also locally know as
just "the woods".
In particular there was a massive hill with a creek at 
the bottom. Large numbers of stone were there in the dry
creekbed in all forms of shapes, sizes and pieces.
The majority of these stones dated no later then the
1820's.
The whole area was simply tightly packed dirt.
There were possibly graves that were not Indians, I recall
no stones with what I would deem as "indian" names. 
I recall several "Elizabeth's" and several James and John.
The condition I refer to was in the late 1970's.
Sadly I don't think that any record exists of the burials.
The area to be more exact was approximately 5 miles south
of the town of Mooresville.
