Multiple tales have been told about this church cemetery, but the one I want to describe involves Colonel George Maxwell. Born in Virginia in 1751, Colonel George Maxwell served his country bravely during the Revolutionary War at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Upon his death in 1822, the soldier was put to rest in the New Providence Cemetery. Folks who approach the grave site are surprised by a black guard dog, which then disappears.
Please come only during the daytime to enjoy the cemetery, which also contains several Confederate soldier graves.
