Welcome to the Gibson-Peele Cemetery, named after its oldest resident John Gibson and prominent Peele family. It is quite often confused with the Gibson Cemetery, named after the town of Gibson, NC, about three miles away. It is also confused with the Peele Cemetery located about one half mile away. In the late 1800 and early 1900 death certificates issued by the Z. V. Pate Funeral Home in Gibson, it is almost always called the "Peele Cemetery." The cemetery is located in the deep woods behind the Green Pond Cemetery (black cemetery) located about 600 yards away on the Wire Road. In one death certificate it is called the "Ben Peele Cemetery". In an older death certificate it was referred to as "Nancy Gibson's Graveyard" since it was started on her land where she buried her husband John Gibson in 1840. The cemetery was in the fields at that time behind their house – now woods. John was buried under a large oak tree on a slight hilltop. It is located in Williamson Twp, Scotland County, North Carolina, less than one mile from the state line and Marlboro County, South Carolina. (Horace Peele, [email protected]
