Located on the southeast side of Gordon Drive, 0.2 mile off Hwy. 178 (Charleston Highway), northwest of Bowman, SC. The old Frederick home site was across Gordon Drive from the cemetery. It was known as Cedar Lane Plantation, Peter Frederick, Sr. (1756-1820), who built Cedar Lane as an upper plantation home, inaugurated the cemetery on his estate when his wife Barbara (Weaver, Webber, Waber) died in 1819. He joined her in 1820, followed by twelve of their descendants over the next ninety-nine years. Interred in this hallowed ground, besides the Fredericks, are six Shulers, three Stokes, two Gavins and one Bowman, all related. And who knows, there just might be others, lost to memory, time and history, their presence erased by the careless or deliberate removal of a monument or marker during cleaning or pilfering activities.

On October 10, 1987 the cemetery was designated as the Shuler-Frederick Family Cemetery with the unveiling of a granite memorial marker now in place at the cemetery. In a tribute to all that have proceded, but especially to the last patriarch of Cedar Lane Plantation, Lewis Hayne Shuler, III (1837-1909) on the occasion of his 150th Anniversary commemoration at the 33rd Shuler Reunion.
