Abstract:

For years Third Creek Church in Rowan County has been the recipient of much publicity as the final resting place of Napoleon's Marshall Ney, of France. But aside from this interesting enigma, the church itself is a shrine of great religious and historic interest. Organized in 1787 by Scotch pioneers, the church continued to grow and prosper with a congregation that included prominent settlers and slaves.

Abstract:

The Lower Stone Church, built in Rowan County in 1754 before the Revolutionary War, is one of the county's most popular landmarks. It was built of native stones and is surrounded by a graveyard which is said to have been started before 1750. The church is still used regularly for worship.
