Old Six Mile Cemetery
Congregants of Six Mile Spring Presbyterian Church, later known as Six Mile Creek Church, established this cemetery c.1790. The original church’s exact location is unknown, but it is said to have burned down c.1804. By 1835, the congregation had left the immediate vicinity and built a new church approx. 1.5 miles southwest of here. Congregants began another cemetery at the new site.
Burials continued at Old Six Mile Cemetery as late as the mid-1800s. Among those interred here are the Morrow, Hagins, Coffey, and Patton families. The buried include several veterans of the Revolutionary War and War of 1812. The oldest known grave belongs to William Hagins (c.1727-1790), an Irish immigrant and officer in the Mecklenburg County (N.C.) Regiment of Militia.
