About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Fort Nelson was built in 1781 by Richard Chenoweth and constructed between what is currently Main Street and the river, with its main gate near Seventh Street. It served the need for a burial ground because of continuing attacks from Native Americans and the threat of British attacks during the Revolutionary War.

In the fort's place today stands Fort Nelson Park.
