Old family cemetery recently cleared and marked by the efforts of the Starnes Triennial Association and the late Herman Starnes (1919-2008). Many of the earliest Starnes to settle in North Carolina are buried here, though the graves were only marked with old field stones. Located off Nesbit Road and Tom Starnes Road (near Prospect Methodist Church), Buford Township, Union County, North Carolina.

One thing that should be noted, many of the dates on the stone are approximate, and should be regarded as "circa." For example, it has that Nathaniel Starnes & his wife Susan/Susannah died in 1860. As far as I know, no one knows when they died, but they were living at the time of the 1860 census, and apparently dead by 1870. Similarly, the dates for David Starnes & his wife Barbara should read "after 1833" for David and "after 1824" for Barbara. They signed deeds in those years, and died subsequently, but it has not been determined exactly when they died.

Many thanks to Ann Price for the pictures, and for creating many of the memorials here.
