2. The Mounger Square Marker
Regarding The Mounger Square. Caroline Weaver and Ann Andrew were sisters; their mother was Lucy Mounger. Caroline's father-in-law, Benjamin Weaver, fought in the N.C. Regiment during the Revolutionary War and later operated a tavern in Greensboro. Ann married Bishop Andrew in 1843, becoming his second wife. The following year, the Andrews' ownership of slaves caused a schism within the Methodist church that resulted in its split into northern and southern sects.
