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.

This cemetery is also referred to as The Revolutionary War Cemetery, Liberty Hall, or Queen's Museum. Destroyed--no trace exists.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library website of Known Cemeteries of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County states:
"British soldiers who were killed at the Square(Trade & Tryon) during the Battle of Charlotte were probably buried in this cemetery, as well as those killed in the "Battle of the Bees" on Beatties Ford Rd. There are no records of names or what happened to the tombstones. Remains of bone and materials were found when workers dug the foundation for the Mecklenburg County courthouse in 1897."

The North Carolina Genealogy site states:
"During the occupation of Charlotte by the British army under Lord Cornwallis, Liberty Academy, which stood upon the lot now owned by A.B. Davidson, Esq., was used as a hospital and greatly defaced and injured. The numerous graves in the rear of the Academy, visible upon departure of the British army, after a stay of eighteen days, bore ample evidence of their great loss in this "rebellious country"--the "Hornet's Nest" of America."
