001    MT PLEASANT GRAVEYARD AT TANGLEWOOD

      Location - in Tanglewood Park near Clemmons in S.W. Forsyth county.

      Coordinates: 35d 59m 35.1s N; 80d 24m 20.0s W Click here for Google maps

      This is the old Johnson Family Cemetery just down the hill from the site of William Johnson's fort,where William Johnson passed away September 5, 1765 at the age of 33 years. Most of the stones are old soapstone and are eroding badly, even though well-cared for.

      Many of the names are now illegible, but can be found in a copy of the original family book prepared by William J. Hall in 1943. In it he lists all the known graves. Many of the stones have eroded since 1943. However, many stones are still readable.

      The following survey is taken from 3 sources:
      1. William Johnson 1732-1765 and Some Descendants by W. J. Hall 1943
      2. Mt Pleasant Methodist Church records from a 1984 copy. Submitters :Frank Swicegood and Marie Hinson [30 October 1984]
      3. Pictures taken by Lyn Blackburn-Fowler in the cemetery in 1995.

      Survey submitted by Linda Fowler.
