Welcome to the Peele Cemetery, site of "The First Peelle Family In America" monument. It was erected in 1998 and endorsed by the Colonial Dames and the Sons of the American Revolution. This cemetery was founded in 1856 by Robert Peelle (1801-1864) and his wife Mary Adams (1806-1895), the 8th generation of our Peelle (Peele) lineage. Robert settled in this area about 1816 when working to install the telegraph system along the old wire road. He is the son of David Peelle and Priscilla Fletcher who died in Wayne County, NC. Robert and Mary started this cemetery on their own land when they buried their son Jonathan Peelle (1832-1856). Today, there are members of the 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th generations resting in this beautifully maintained oak-shaded, fenced and quiet cemetery.

This cemetery is located north west of the small town of Gibson, NC. The NC/SC state line runs right through the middle of the cemetery with part in Marlboro County, SC and part in Scotland County, NC. "The First Peelle Family In America" monument stands in the Scotland County, NC. The cemetery is owned by a trust and is maintained with funds donated primarily by Pearson-Peele family members. There are other cemeteries in this local area that have descendants of the Peelle family, but this is the most important in that its founders, original Peele's to this area, are buried here.
