Description	:	Cemetery is located on the family farm of David Julian and his first wife, Elizabeth Merrill Julian, in Rowan County NC. Elizabeth Merrill Julian died in 1816 shortly after the birth of their last child, Andrew, in 1815. She is probably the only person buried on their farm.

Read More	Cemetery is located on the family farm of David Julian and his first wife, Elizabeth Merrill Julian, in Rowan County NC. Elizabeth Merrill Julian died in 1816 shortly after the birth of their last child, Andrew, in 1815. She is probably the only person buried on their farm. Four years later, by the 1820 Census, David had sold this farm and purchased one in nearby Iredell County NC. He remarried in 1821 and raised a second family in Alexander County NC where he lived the rest of his life and is buried. David's and Elizabeth's farm may actually be located in current day Davidson County NC (near Linwood NC) since Davidson County was formed from Rowan County NC in 1822. It is known that the Julian farm was near the Jersey Settlement where Elizabeth Merrill Julian was born in 1775. That settlement and Quaker meeting house were located near Linwood NC and the current Jersey Baptist Church. Please note that High Rock Lake was built on the Davidson-Rowan County border in this same area. Planning and construction began on the lake in 1917 and it was first filled in 1928. It is currently owned by Alcoa. There is family speculation that the David & Elizabeth Julian farm is now under the waters of High Rock Lake. Unfortunately, the lake's construction and planning records from 1917-1928 are very sketchy on exactly which cemeteries in the area were relocated prior to the work beginning and where those graves were re-interred. It is questionable whether Elizabeth's grave would have been moved for several reasons: 1. She was not buried in a specific cemetery with other graves but instead on private property and probably no other graves with hers. 2. She had been buried for a century by the time the lake planning, surveying and construction began in 1917 so her grave may not have been tended and marked properly 100 years after her death. 3. Her husband and children were not living in 1917 to alert other family members that her grave needed to be moved. So her final resting place may have gone unnoticed when the land she once owned was sold for the lake's construction. Research continues on farm's exact location and will be updated. During my next trip to North Carolina, I will be visiting the Rowan County NC Register of Deeds office in Salisbury to research the deed to the farm to determine which county claimed it after Davidson County was created out of Rowan County in 1822. After I determine which county could claim it, I will research that county's Map Department for information on the exact location of the farm and it's proximity to the lake. My findings will be updated here.
