Add PhotosThis site has long been recognized as the Odell - Trogdon Cemetery as designated on a historical map of Randolph County, North Carolina produced by the late map maker Garland P. Stout of Greensboro, North Carolina. In a privately created article in the "Randolph County Heritage", page 326, on the Julian family they have referred to it as the (AKA) "Old Trogdon Cemetery". The cemetery is located about 3 miles southwest of Grays Chapel United Methodist Church on the Old Liberty Road, SR#2261, near the intersection with SR #2128. The village of Millboro is a short distance north. There is no sign, gate or indication to mark the Odell - Trogdon Cemetery.
Odell, Trogdon, Julian, York, Diffee, and Allred families as early settlers to this portion of Randolph County are buried in this cemetery. The Julian family married into the Redding family who were very dedicated Christians in the Bethany United Methodist Church. These families became related through marriages starting in Winchester, Frederick County, Virginia where the progenitor Pierre Rene De St Julien II was buried in about 1745.
Fear of the Indians from the French and Indian War of July 1755 drove these families down the Shenandoah Valley starting in the summer of 1755 then into this central Piedmont area of colonial North Carolina. Among those were the Julian brothers Isaac and John Julian that came to secure Granville Land Grants. The John and Isaac Julian families lived on this land for a few years before obtaining land grants. Isaac Julian first acquired 280 acres dated 29 December 1762. John Julian acquired 195 acres in his land grant on Bush Creek that this Odell - Trogdon Cemetery is part of that passed down to his son George Julian, Randolph County Deed Book 7:69. Then on 9 September 1796 George Julian deeded part of this property to John Trogdon per Randolph County, Deed Book 8:86.
There is a Revolutionary War Veteran buried in this cemetery.
