Rev. Tristram Stackhouse is listed on a marker in Roper Cemetery but is actually buried in Utsey Cemetery, Grover, S.C.
The following information was graciously provided by contributor James L. Sherwood:
- The "Find-A-Grave" website (memorial # 25914862) and "Cemeteries in Dillon County" both record data which would lead one to assume that Rev. Tristram Stackhouse was buried in the Roper Cemetery in Dillon County, South Carolina - However, that is not the case - He was actually buried in the Utsey Cemetery in Dorchester County, South Carolina
- The marker in the Roper Cemetery is a joint one, listing the names of nine Stackhouses, "some buried elsewhere"
- Documentation on Rev. Tristram Stackhouse's "Find-A-Grave" memorial at the Utsey Cemetery (memorial #5052549) reads as follows: "In memory of Rev. Tristram Stackhouse who died in this Cypress Circuit Sept. 23, 1831 in the second year of his ministry - age 31 years and 5 months"
- The notation under the photograph of his grave maker (which is attached to that Find-A-Grave memorial) states that the "tombstone is broken" - The photo also shows only the top part of the marker which is partially buried in the ground
On that "Find-A-Grave" memorial (#5052549) for Rev. Tristram Stackhouse (Utsey Cemetery - Dorchester County, South Carolina), his date of birth is listed as "April 1800" - However this marker is broken and no date is shown in the attached photograph - It is my assumption that the "April" date is in error, as Harllee, in his Kinfolks (Volume 3, page 2126) gives his date of birth as July 2, 1800 - Harllee's Kinfolks was thoroughly researched by persons closely connected with the Stackhouse family - Hence, I feel their "July 2, 1800" date of his birth to be more reliable - Also, due to the broken and buried state of the grave marker, my guess is that the age-related inscription relating to his age could easily have been misread, with the number of "5" months being mistaken for a "2" or "3" , which would have put his date of birth in July rather than April - No proof, but a speculated guess
- In a brief history of the Utsey Cemetery, the following sentence appears: "... the oldest known grave in the Utsey Cemetery with a tombstone remaining is the one of Rev. Tristram Stackhouse who died September 23, 1831"
