New Hope Presbyterian Church

Henry C. Hastings is buried in the old cemetery of New Hope Presbyterian Church, located east of Hillsborough at 4701 North Highway 86 -- which, technically, is a Chapel Hill address.

Here's a Yahoo! Map link:

The old cemetery is across the street from the church, in the woods to the left of the New Hope Fire District's station house.

Henry is buried toward the center. His original marker is upright, but someone has, fairly recently, added a new marker with the same inscription as the original: "Henry C. Hastings died May 17, 1812 age 85 years". Next to Henry are his two wives (Elizabeth, died July 1, 1800; and E.H., age 73). Just to the south of Henry's grave is the grave of "J. H.", whom I believe to be Henry's son James; and to the east is the grave of Thomas Latta, presumably the husband of Henry's granddaughter Elizabeth.

The cemetery is a beautiful place, and I visit every time I am in the area.
