The tract of land was initially called Youghall, and by 1700 the Gregorie family bought the property, next followed by Thomas Hamlin in 1704. Later parts of the tract were sold to William Capers and John Perry. Perry died in 1713 leaving his part of the tract to his daughter Mary who married in 1728, John Cleland of London. Cleland moved to South Carolina about 1735 and in 1740 conveyed 982 acres, then called "Youghall." It is thought that the plantation cemetery was created during the ownership of Thomas Barksdale (1745-1800). The name of the tract of land appears to have changed from Youghall to Oakland after the transfer of the land to the Macbeth family.
