Places

Burial sites

Cemeteries, graves, reinterments and memorials — with what is known about each, and how precisely.

A burial date is recorded separately from a death date. A person taken up and buried again appears twice, in order, and only one entry is marked the present grave. A cenotaph is a monument where the body is not, and is never shown as a burial.

Where a coordinate locates the cemetery rather than the plot, the entry says so. Some graves are fragile, unmarked, on private land or archaeologically sensitive; for those the location is known and deliberately not published, and the record says why.

St. Philip’s Church

The congregation moved to Church Street in 1723; the present building dates from 1835–38 after fire destroyed its predecessor.

The burial trench on Morris Island

The common grave into which the Confederate garrison buried the Federal dead of the assault of 18 July 1863, Colonel Robert Gould Shaw of the 54th Massachusetts among them. Its position on the island is not established here, and no coordinate is published for it.
