About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Cemetery was located very near Carter Falls which is no longer shown as a valid city in NC so nearby Elkin was selected as its address.

Carter Family Cemetery is near the intersection of Pleasant Ridge and Carter Mill roads, which is near Carter Falls.

The Carter family reunion is held annually at nearby Pleasant Ridge Baptist Church.

Those interred are direct descendants of Samuel Carter, who moved from Morristown, N.J., to the area near the waterfall which became known as Carter Falls around 1760, when it was part of Rowan County. Surry County was created from Rowan in 1771 and Wilkes County was created from Surry in 1778.

Duke Power Company acquired the property on which the waterfall known as Carter Falls is located.

See Wilkes Journal-Patriot article titled "Carter Falls Had Key Role in Elkin's Growth" by Jule Hubbard on August 24, 2016 for more information on Carter Family for whom Carter Falls was named.
