Comments:
- Locate the three large plots with stone borders and white gravel. From the roadside of the cemetery, keeping two plots on the right and one on the left, go between these plots until you are just past the plot on the right. Alternatively, find the larger tree on the cemetery grounds. There is a row of stones in line with the tree. Follow that line north to the marker for James McCorkle and Family.

Directions to Cemetery / Gravesite:
From the intersection of North Main St (north of the railroad tracks) and Broome St in Waxhaw, NC, take North Main St west for roughly 1.7 miles. North Main becomes Waxhaw-Marvin Rd. At 1.7 miles, make a slight right onto Pine Oak Rd. Follow Pink Oak for roughly .4 miles to the cemetery on the left. A gate and small parking spot next to the road are at the nearest corner of the cemetery. There is also some parking across the road

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
