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.
