I've been looking over the list of graves on Find-A-Grave for Burch Cemetery, and I think I found a good contender for the first person to be buried there. That was Henry Baker, born 1755 in North Carolina and died in Monroe County May 22, 1838. There are several infants who died very young, and their stones are illegible, but who knows?

My very first memory of Burch Cemetery was when my paternal grandmother was buried there. She was Mary Alice (AKA Molly) Tate-Gardner. She died November 2, 1946. I wasn't 4 years old yet at that time, but the memory of her being lowered into the ground stuck in my mind.
