Trace Commercial Development Cemeteries, Person County, North Carolina and 31PR169 Dear Ms. Blewitt-Golsch: This letter reports on findings related to three (3) cemeteries identified in the comments portion of an agency review letter from the State Historic Preservation (SHPO) Office (Trace Commercial Development, Country Club Road & Edwin Robertson Road, Roxboro, SAW 2016-02542, Person County, ER 14-1122) dated February 4, 2019. Detailed recording is provided here for the Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church cemetery, 31PR169. In response to that (February 4, 2019) letter and a follow-up meeting at the SHPO (June 28, 2019), it was agreed that no further documentation of the Theresa Baptist Church (3919 Chubb Lake Road, Roxboro, NC 27573) and the Duncan Family (705 McGhees Mill Rd., Roxboro, NC 27574) cemeteries would be required by SHPO. It was further agreed that Timmons Group would conduct additional documentation of the cemetery at Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church (222 Shiloh Church Road, Roxboro, NC 27574) (Figure1). This documentation includes delineation between known marked graves and Shiloh Church Road, recordation of any markers not included currently on www.findagrave.com, photographs (Figures 2–6) an estimation of cemetery size, and completion of the appropriate North Carolina Cemetery Recordation form. A Timmons Group, Inc. (Timmons) Secretary of the Interior qualified archaeologist conducted a visit to Shiloh Church on July 5, 2019. According to a sign affixed to the church entrance, the church was founded in 1875 (Figure 2). The church cemetery was found to be in good condition and actively maintained. It covers an area of around 8,500 square feet behind (north) and to the east side of the church structure. There are 88 formally marked graves and five graves marked only with field stones (Figure 4). All graves are oriented east west except for the most recent ones, those belonging to the Berryhill family. Graves date from 1880 to April 2019. A metal soils probe was used to search for unmarked graves between existing markers and Shiloh Church Road—an area of approximately 100 feet east-west by 150 feet north-south. Probes were made on east to west transects at between 1 and 2-foot intervals. No unmarked graves were found. All existing graves are well outside of the Shiloh Church Road right-of-way; therefore, the proposed Trace Commercial Development project is expected to have no adverse effect on burials associated with the Shiloh Primitive Baptist Church.
