On the Ayr Mount estate.

919-732-6886

Kirkland family home, established 1815. Family burial ground.

The final resting place for more than four generations of the Kirkland family, Ayr Mount's owners from 1799 until 1985.
Four large sandstone slabs raised by low brick walls form the centerpiece of the cemetery. These mark the graves of Ayr Mount's first owner and his wife, William and Margaret Kirkland, along with their two unmarried daughters, Susan and Mary. The earliest marked burial is that of Kirkland's grandson and namesake, William Kirkland McNeill, who died as a toddler on October 10, 1817.

Low, granite footstones mark most of the 20th century graves, including the last Kirkland owners of Ayr Mount, Samuel S. Kirkland and his widow, Emily. From rough field stones to carved sandstone slabs, the differences in gravestone types reflect the changing funerary styles over two centuries.
