Steele Creek

This video concludes the visit to the Steele Creek Church and Cemetery, located in Charlotte, North Carolina. In this video, I visit the modern-day burial area of the cemetery, and wrap-up the entire series.

This video looks at the graves of the Spratt (Sprott) and Barnet family, who were Irish immigrants who came to the Charlotte area in the mid-1700s... prior to the birth of The United States. The original graves were in a different location and their remains were reinterred due to progress... land was needed for expansion throughout Charlotte.
