Description
In 1776 the present-day Liberty Methodist Church
cemetery was Veach's Muster Ground, where militias met for drills.
Tory Captain Samuel Bryan and Patriot Richmond Pearson fought a fist
fight to determine on which side the local militia would fight. As a
result of Pearson's victory, the Forks of the Yadkin militia fought
as Patriots. Bryan raised his own Tory militia.
