Newton Homesite & Cemetery

New Hanover County NC

Surveyed by Michael & Judy Chesson June 2007




The following is a complete listing of the tombstones in the Newton Homesite & Cemetery in New Hanover County, NC.

Location: Take HWY 421 South from Wilmington to Carolina Beach, NC. When you cross the bridge, turn right on Dow Road. Go 2.2 Miles and you will see the sign for “Federal Point United Methodist Church Cemetery”. The path is big enough for a car to pass, but the gate remains locked. But it is allowed to walk back to the site. You will come to the Federal Point Cemetery first. The Newton site is right beside the other. You will see the National Historic Signs at the entrance to the cemetery.
