From the book, "The Second Hawfields Burying Ground" it says "although the church itself was moved, many of the old families continued to use the first burying ground for some years. A visit to the old cemetery in August, 1975 shows mostly native stone markers, unlettered and undated and many obvious graves with no marker. Among the very few decipherable were the initials H.H., J.N., John N., A.M., 1809, and E. Mariatt-died April 9 1837." The land for this burying ground was re-purchased by the present day Hawfields Presbyterian Church on January 5, 1924, as recorded in the Orange County Deed Book 83, page 44. The burying ground is reached by taking State Route 1140 and turning east 1600 feet south from Interstate 40 onto a road which dead ends. There is also a Second Hawfields Burying Ground, which was used after the church relocated. It is across from the church building and is listed under Hawfields Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Alamance County, North Carolina.
