The original burial ground once associated with Roswell Presbyterian Church contained 23 marked graves of some first families of Roswell and their slaves. The first burial was that of Charles Irvine Bulloch, aged 2 years, who died of scarlet fever during an outbreak in Roswell in summer of 1841. Town founder Roswell King died February 15, 1844 and lies beneath a monument erected in his memory by his children. Flagstones identify 65 graves discovered in 1984 during a geophysical survey of the cemetery.
