Located in Salisbury adjacent to the Rowan County Courthouse and a number of churches, this marker…read morepoints out the history of the cemetery that is just next to it. Marker L-71 reads, "Cornwallis' men buried here in 1781. Granted to city in 1770 by British government. Grave of Gov. John W. Ellis is here." The online essay has more information. "The land for what has come to be known as the Old English Cemetery in Salisbury was originally set aside for the town by the colonial assembly in 1770. The title for the "Burying Ground" was assigned to the town commissioners, one of whom was Thomas Frohock. Frohock donated the plot to the city upon his death in 1794. Over the ensuing decades the cemetery became the final resting place for generations of the leaders of Rowan County. Best known of those individuals was Gov. John Ellis (1820-1861), who died seven months into his term as the state's chief executive. The cemetery includes a number of unmarked British graves, those likely being the remains of soldiers in Cornwallis's army who died while in jail in Salisbury. Cornwallis's camp was situated on the property where the Rowan Public Library now stands and his soldiers used the old town well at the back of the library property. "The oldest grave in the cemetery is that of Col. Daniel Little who died on December 10, 1775. The cemetery was restored by the Pine Tree Garden Club of Salisbury in the 1960s. The Freedmen's Cemetery is separated from the Old English Cemetery by a stone wall. In recent years efforts have been mounted to memorialize those buried in the Freedmen's Cemetery and to repair the monuments in the Old English Cemetery."

So much so that there is a 3 inch gully over his feet we went down there and the owner Eric agreed with me at first to, even pointing out the gators tire track to me. After several other excuses like it's maintenance, but no one has been buried there in that row for over 2 years and you can see nothing done to the other graves in that row. Then the ground was to soft to drive below him, which I must point out that there is no one buried below my dad. about 30 feet of unused land. Then Eric Anderson proceeded to tell me they had the right use that as a pathway. Me being upset at that point was an understatement!! The next day after I posted on the site( which they deleted and blocked me from commenting on) His Wife Megan Anderson tried to tell me it was from mowing, yeah right! Mowing season just got start by the way and if it's from mowing why doesn't it happen every where else in the park.. If I could give them no stars I would. They lied right to my face and tried to cover up the wrong that has been happening. Honesty and admitting to what was happening would have went along way.
