Known as the Old Jewish Burial Ground, this cemetery was established by Mordecai Sheftall on August 2, 1773 from lands granted him in 1762 by King George III as a parcel of land that "shall be, and "forever remain, to and for the use and purpose of a Place of Burial for all persons whatever professing the Jewish Religion."
This burial ground was used for about 100 years. There is a plague indicating names of people thought to be buried here but whose markers have long disappeared. It is located just south of Cohen St in Savannah, GA.
Cohen St. Cemetery: - Burials of the Sheftall Family (1797-1882). At Cohen & Spruce Streets, interments began in 1773. Because the 'old cemetery' also has the name Sheftall on the sign, this site is often confused with Mordechai Sheftall Cemetery.
Cemetery is often locked.
