Davis Family Cemetery
Potecasi, Northampton County, North Carolina, USA
Cemetery visited January 2005 by Kinnie Rhoden Bridgers, Jr and Josephine Paula Askew Phillips, descendants of Kinchen Clyde Bridgers & his 1st wife, Charity Holland Lassiter along with Dot Harcum who researched possible burials in this cemetery.
Visible in this cemetery were the graves of 6 adults and 1 youth. Graves covered with cement and marble(?) slabs. No visible engraving on slabs.
NOTE: Returned March 2012 to take pictures, only 5 slabs visible and the two shown in the upper right portion of the picture are in bad condition.
Death certificates researched for possible individuals who might have been buried here, though their deaths were between 1921 and 1946.
The land where these graves are located was owned by Hillery Davis. Northampton Co., NC Deed Book 223 PGs 545-546 - Susie C Bridgers, her siblings and their spouses were selling the land to J H Davis indicated, "...Thirty-Five Hundred Dollars...One Hundred Forty-Two and one-half acres...being the land of the late Hilary Davis. The old family grave yard on this tract is not conveyed herein or hereby, with right of ingress and egress thereto and therefrom." Dated September 15, 1928
By "The old family grave yard...", it indicates that this was a cemetery which was in existence for some time before the land was sold in 1928 and could have been in the Davis family (ancestors of Hillery/Hilary Davis) or the Whitehead family (ancestors of Laura Jane Whitehead). To determine if this was Davis land or Whitehead land, prior to Hillery/Hilary Davis owning this property, further research will need to be done at the Register of Deeds office in Jackson.
