Add PhotosMy family has owned the farm on which this cemetery is located since the 1800's. The farm came to the Whitehead family when my great grandfather, Lawrence Elbert Whitehead, married my great grandmother, Mary Louise "Mollie" Staton, widow of James Burton House in 1890.
Located at the back part of the farm and not under this oak tree were two sunken areas that my grandfather referred to as the Hogun cemetery. There were some scrubby trees, but no grave markers. The area was eventually taken in as part of the field.
Some people want to believe that Colonel James Hogun was buried in the Hogun cemetery. He died while he was confined as a prisoner by the British in Haddrell's Point, South Carolina and was likely buried in an unmarked grave on the prison grounds.
