| Bio and Links |
Interested in genealogy, cemetery art, historical preservation, Colonial, Civil War, and present day history of the Eastern North Carolina and South Carolina low country regions, plus visiting historically significant cemeteries in the United States. My interests have lately focused on the Baynard, Barnwell, Bailey, Burrows, Elliott, Jenkins, Mikell, Jones, Smith and Whaley families of Beaufort, Edisto Island, Charleston, Columbia, Orangeburg, Port Royal, South Carolina.
Why Sticks and Stones?
I have to take a moment to express appreciation for a book I found about year 2000 in an independent bookshop on the 2nd floor of a building in Wake Forest, North Carolina. That book was ' Sticks and Stones: Three Centuries of North Carolina Gravemarkers (Richard Hampton Jenrette Series in Architecture and the Decorative Arts) by M. Ruth Little'. It spurned my interest in the historical and cultural aspects of cemeteries, and lured me into exploring the backwoods, and not so backwoods cemeteries of North Carolina and South Carolina, and eventually led me to join Find A Grave to help document and photograph stones for others to see.
I've stood in amazement looking at wooden gravemarkers over 200 years old, learned of the stone carvers trade, dominated by the Italian stone artists of Connecticut and Massachusetts, that were imported to the south, and the distinct bands of distribution of peoples from far away places. Many of them dictated by early Indian trade routes. I encourage you to get a copy for your taphology library.

 | RE: William & Martha Johnson
Thank you for the transfers! Yes, it is exciting to find info already there. It's been awhile since trying to research this family as most are scattered all over the place making connections difficult. With some new resources, I thought I would try again. | | | GA Firefighter
 | RE: Duplicate Cemeteries - Morrisville NC
Thank you for this information. I was not aware of the duplication. I will change the name of the cemetery on my listings that were not on the first recordings. I usually catch this, but not this time. Thanks again, John | | | Carolyn Whitaker
