Aydlett, Sawyer, & Guard Cemeteries
Powells Point, NC

Directions:  All 3 of these small cemeteries are located .4 mile north of the junction of North Spot Road (SR 1113) and South Spot Road (SR 1111) on the east side of North Spot Rd. about .2 mile across the field.  It can be driven to by going through the yard of the Stone residence and bearing to the left up a lane.  Google Maps for these cemeteries.  The Aydlett Cemetery and  the chimney were photographed by Elizabeth Aydlett Lewis in 2012 and the Sawyer & Guard Cemeteries were photographed by Lisa Boswood & Judy Brickhouse in 2012.

The property that this house & cemetery once stood on is currently known as the Currituck County Horse Farm and it has been speculated that possibly Warner Sawyer or his son, James Best Sawyer (1840-1918) was the builder of the house that once surrounded this chimney.  Most locals remember it being called the "Johnny Etheridge Guard House".
