During research for the book "A Look Back, A History of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Fayetteville NC," the authors discovered that John Elwell, a Revolutionary War veteran, signer of the Liberty Point Resolves, and Catholic gentleman, is buried in the old Catholic cemetery that is located 10 miles south of Fayetteville NC. It is on property that was once owned by John Kelly, one of the original parishioners of St Patrick Church.
