Bio and Links
I have added these memorials, mostly from the historic cemeteries of Charleston to memorialize all the individuals who have contributed to Charleston's past. The rich history of these individuals and their families encouraged me to memorialize their memory for all those interested. If you do not have an email listed, or the ability to leave messages on your member page please do not leave me messages as I will not answer them. Too many people suggest wrong corrections and I have no way to respond to them. Sorry. If I don't respond to your request for a transfer that means I would prefer to keep the memorial.

In the event a photo of a headstone is not included, it generally means that the memorial information was taken from a cemetery transcription or death record. One of those who did the transcription was Elizabeth C. Curtis. Without her efforts cemeteries such as Trinity United Methodist and Old Third Central Presbyterian Cemetery records would not be included or available since neither of the above church exists today, including the cemetery and headstones. I just found out yesterday January 21, 2010 that internments of Old Third Central Presbyterian Church Cemetery have been moved to Riverview Memorial in Charleston. There are others who did transcriptions, but I am not aware who they are. If someone knows, I would be glad to acknowledge them in this profile.

Some of the headstones at the Circular Church were impossible to read, however the church had previously documented many of the graves sites by plot #'s. In those cases where I could not read the headstone I used the information from the church records found at the Charleston library to identify the headstones. I did list the plots #'s on the majority of the memorials.

A special thanks to the work of Clare Jervey published in 1906 with the transcription of St. Michael's. Her transcription allowed me to include much that was unreadable.

RE: Guerard
Whoops, I'm sorry, I must not have read carefully who owns that. I have to tell you, though, I really admire all the work you've done. It's just an amazing body of work, all through the Lowcountry.

Dean Stansbury
Ok. Thanks for the response. Nothing about a wife, either? So, will check records again. John Nicholas died May 28th, 1892. Seems to be too close to not be the same person, but one would think the obit would mention a wife. Maybe it was a sister. . . .more investigating to be done. Best, BonnieB

Stansbury Fairmount Cemetery, Newark
Hello,
I am trying to determine if the Rev. Dean Stansbury, for whom you created a memorial at Fairmount Cemetery in Newark, is the same as John Nicholas Stansbury, born Jan. 18, 1833, died May 28, 1892, married to Emma. Working on requested photos. Thanks for any information you can provide. BonnieB

RE: Thank you
Hi,

Another Dear John eNote..

Thank you for your kind words. It is such a truism.

Lessons are not as you learn them but the applications done.

My eldest nephew is attending West point ( USMA ) in Orange County, New York.

At least the one graduating in South Carolina at " West Point of the South " shall I hope and pray use his acquired skills and learning sets well now.

Regards,

Jonathan
