Founded as Roswell’s first cemetery, this burial ground served the village from 1840 to 1860. Those buried here include Roswell King, founder of Roswell; Major James Stephens Bulloch, grandfather of President Theodore Roosevelt and grandson of Archibald Bulloch, the first president of Georgia; and John Dunwody, Esq., builder of Mimosa Hall, with his wife, Jane Bulloch Dunwody. A scarlet fever outbreak in 1841 caused the deaths of many children, including Charles Irving Bulloch, infant son of Major and Mrs. James Stephens Bulloch. Another child buried here was three-year-old Ralph King Hand, son of Roswell King’s widowed daughter Eliza Hand, for whom Roswell’s first permanent home, Primrose Cottage, was built. Enslaved people of these families were also buried here, and many graves are unmarked. The last burial was on May 18, 1860, James A. Burney, the only son of Doctor and Mrs. P.J. Burney.
