Nan,
I would recommend looking at In the Angle of the Woods: Archaeological and Historical Investigations of the Sprott Cemetery (31MK1081**), New South Associates Technical Report 1506, by Hugh Matternes and Terri Gillett.  The Sprott (also spelled Spratt) Cemetery was located during the expansion of the Carolinas Medical Center-Mercy in Charlotte, NC.  About 13 graves were uncovered, dating back to about the 1770s.  One of the graves was that of Thomas Spratt, reported to be the first white settler in the Mecklenburg County area (1740s).
 
The report is currently under review for publication by the North Carolina Archaeological Council (NCAC).  You could contact Tom Beaman, NCAC Editor, for more information ([log in to unmask]).
