McNeill Family Cemetery

McNeill Family Cemetery, Autaugaville, Alabama

Autauga County /

This is the McNeill Family Cemetery located across the street from the Autaugaville Methodist Church. Previous surveys have identified this cemetery as the Autaugaville Methodist Church Cemetery and the Old Autaugaville Cemetery. The “Old Autaugaville Cemetery” indicated in newspaper clippings, however, refers to the Asbury Cemetery, not this one. I would expect, but have not yet verified, that the McNeill home stood nearby this parcel of land in the 1860s.
