New Cultural Heritage Site
Kudos for Jean Covington-LaCoss of Asheboro, NC for getting approval from the Randolph County Historic Landmark Preservation Commission (HLPC) for the addition of the Trogdon Burying Ground to the list of Cultural Heritage sites in our county on Tuesday, October 23, 2012.
There was a HUGE article in the Courier Tribune on Wednesday, October 24, 2012…FRONT PAGE! The cemetery, also known as the Billy Trogdon Cemetery, located on the original land of William Trogdon, JR., born ca 1720 in Maryland and died in 1805 is buried here. In 2002, the East Coast Allred Family Association (ECAFA) began the process of saving the cemetery. The owner, Alton Garner deeded the cemetery to ECAFA. The Trogdon Family Historical Society has had the cemetery plotted. The cemetery could hold well over 200 graves. Jean believes the cemetery appears to be the largest family cemetery in Randolph County. She has some awesome photos of the site! Great Job Jean!!! Thanks for your time and hard work!
