OUR GRAVEYARD
|
St Mary of the Annunciation's Graveyard is a treasury of Charleston's Catholic history that is linked to the present. The first burials took place in the late 18th century. It is estimated that about 550 are buried here, including ancestors of current parishioners. Under the leadership of one of our parishioners, Michael Willson, an updated inventory and mapping of the graveyard began in 2017 and was completed in the spring of 2018. His efforts were assisted by other parishioners and a team of graduate students in Conservation from the College of Charleston, with the guidance of Professor Frances Ford. |
Immediately below are location maps to assist in locating a particular marker number.
The first shows where to find each area on the church grounds, as well as which marker numbers are in each area.
The remaining twelve show each area in detail, with marker numbers indicated.
Additional files are available at the bottom of the page, including complete lists of names
sorted by last name, marker number, and area number, as well as scans of historical documents.
