William Johnston Cemetery
Durham, Durham County, North Carolina, USA
Johnston left money in his will for a marker to be erected on his grave "...purchase and erect a plain but decent monument to the memory of my late beloved wife and children who are interred at the Burying Place on my plantation at Little River in the county of Orange...I wish to be there interred."
Directions in 2008: Located between Little River and the corner of Vintage Hill Pkwy. & Sawmill Creek Pkwy. From Snow Hill Rd, take Sawmill Creek Pkwy north about 1800 feet - 1/3 mile, to a gate on the right. The landowner and the Trading Path Association have set up an easement allowing people to visit, by using the historic trading path road to access it. Take a right off the trading path into the woods several hundred feet beyond the abandoned barns before the road drops in elevation. Follow the edge of the slight ridge to the grave which now has several strings of orange tape hanging above. You may need a GPS device or a good map to find the gravesite. Coordinates are: 36d 06m 24.4s N; 78d 51m 32.0s W
