About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Cedar Dell, the antebellum plantation of the Croom and Herring families, is estimated to have been built in 1810, was remodeled in 1880 with Victorian accents and recently renovated in 2007. Located in the Falling Creek vicinity of Lenoir County, North Carolina, it was purchased in 1876 by the Kennedy family, who were among Lenoir County's largest landowners. It was the home of Thomas Jefferson Kennedy, and later his son, Capt. William Lafayette Kennedy. Capt. Kennedy returned to the house after serving in the Civil War and lived there with his wife Emily Hardee. They are interred together in the family burial grounds behind the house as are other members of the Kennedy and Herring families.
