Mecklenburg County Churches: Past & Present
(Page under construction, links regularly updated)
Mecklenburg County Deed indexes from 1765-1933 list about 300 churches. Some churches changed names, denomination or moved. I’m comparing notes from my pictures and visits with deed records and maps.
Each church I’ve seen a name for will have a church page, whether a new church or no longer standing. Each page will show what information I have, such as: pictures, history, newspaper clippings, cemetery information, records kept, deed information, if there was a school, and a link to a website or facebook page for that church. When a page is created on this website, the name of the church on this page will turn blue with a hyperlink. When I can figure out where the church was, I will add a pin to my collaborative map, and list the church by area. There are currently 87 churches marked on my collaborative map. (January 2023)
If you know of a church not on this list, or have updates please send a message to Julie. Pictures, history and any additional information are most welcome. See more here, about how everything on this site is being organized by 29 areas.
