Greensboro City Cemetery

The earliest grave is that of a Revolutionary War soldier, Major Jonas Fauche, who was in charge of Greene County military operations during the Creek Raids of 1780 .  Many prominent people of our state’s history have been laid to rest here.  Some of those laid to rest are: Governor Peter Early who served as the governor for Georgia during the height of the Creek War of 1813 to 1814 , Revolutionary War soldiers, Jeremiah Sanford who was a neighbor and close friend of George Washington also serving under him in the Revolutionary War during the siege of Yorktown, and forty-five unknown Confederate soldiers.
