1840 – 1860 The original burial ground once associated with the Roswell Presbyterian Church contains 28 marked graves of some first families of Roswell and their slaves.

Town founder Roswell King died February 15, 1844 and lies beneath a monument erected to his memory by his children. Flagstones identify 65 graves discovered in 1984 during a geophysical survey of the cemetery.
