 It is obvious this list is made from records and not from actual findings on the
graveyard. In the 1700's the markers used on the graves were made of wood and
those markers did not survive.
 
 I remember to have read that grave markers were
used to set a fire on one cold night, when a traveling gentleman was visiting
Orangeburgh. It fed his thoughts that the Orangeburgh community had no respect for their ancestry and
he decided he would not locate among people who had so little reverence for the
dead, and went elsewhere.
