Circular Churchyard, Charleston

The Independent or Congregational Church of Charleston was organized
in 1681. After the first building burned down, this brick building
replaced it in 1732. Tombstones read deaths back to 1681 but most
stones are unreadable. www.southcarolinapioneers.com is in the process
of adding a view of some of the readable stones. These burials are
among the earliest settlers.
