Ellis Family Cemetery

This cemetery is located in Linwood, North Carolina. It is located right off of the Yadkin River on Linwood Game Lands. It is most easily accessed by boat. This cemetery contains 16 marked graves and several unmarked graves. It also has a brick wall built around half of the cemetery which appears to have never been finished. The land the cemetery sits on was purchased by Willis Ellis in 1758. The Ellis Family Cemetery contains the remains of the father, mother and siblings of North Carolina governor John W. Ellis. Governor Ellis was born on this land in 1820 and was buried here in 1861, he was later moved to the Old English Cemetery in Salisbury, North Carolina (there is a foot stone with his initials in the family cemetery but no headstone).
