It's very common for a cemetery to be known by several different names..!

 

If known, alternate names will be noted somewhere on the county's webpage listing. 

 

Contact Gary Flynn at garyflynn44@yahoo.com, if all you know, is your cemetery's general area.

 

Cemetery names will normally be listed in alphabetical order.   Ex: Brown-Jones-Wilson Families 

 

Surnames will normally come before given names.   Ex: Brown Family, John 

 

Plantation names were not ordinarily shown on the Census. Using plantation names to locate ancestors can be difficult because the name of a plantation may have been changed through the years and because the sizeable number of large farms must have resulted in lots of duplication of plantation names.

 

Plantation nicknames names, if known, will normally be listed as aka (also known as).

 

It's assumed that if a plantation had over 100 enslaved workers, that there would have normally been a separate cemetery for them.  Often landowner's family graves might be located nearby, but always kept separate. 

 

Plantation homes were often burned after slave emancipation, because the landowner could no longer afford to pay their land taxes. 

 

Historical home locations can normally be determined by locating their existing foundations.

Research Notes:

 

Calhoun County was named for John C. Calhoun (1782-1850), who served as United States vice president, secretary of state and of war, and senator. The county seat, the town of St. Matthews, was settled around 1841 in an area that was known for its cotton plantations. The county itself was formed in 1908 from parts of Orangeburg and Lexington counties. During the Revolutionary War a famous incident took place at Fort Motte in present day Calhoun County. Rebecca Motte (1738-1815), a local plantation owner, helped the Revolutionary troops drive the British out of her plantation house; she reportedly provided the soldiers with a burning arrow to destroy her own dwelling. Another famous resident of the area was Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Julia Peterkin (1880-1961), who lived at Lang Syne Plantation.  (Submitted by: SC State Library / Mary Morgan, 31-Mar-2008)
