033    MEBANE FAMILY

Location - five miles from the intersection of NC Highways Nos. 119 and 70-A, in Mebane, NC, is this family burial plot of a pioneer family. Driving north to the home of Col. Van R. White, turn right just past his house, then turn right into a farm yard at the first house on the right. The cemetery is in a pasture back of the house, enclosed with a dry rock wall.


Survey from the notes of Durward T. Stokes recorded with Col. Van R. White on March 8, 1959.

A short distance to the west of the cemetery are rock remains of the foundation of the original Mebane dwelling. This land is but a short distance from Back Creek. Col. White accompanied me to the cemetery and gave me the information about it.
