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:

Bamberg County and its county seat, Bamberg, were named for local resident William Seaborn Bamberg (1820-1858) and other members of the Bamberg family. The area was a part of Barnwell County until 1897 when the new county was established. Although the area has been primarily agricultural, several towns developed along the route of the South Carolina Railroad in the mid-nineteenth century. In February 1865 Confederate soldiers fought an unsuccessful skirmish against General Sherman's troops at Rivers Bridge, now the site of a state park. The plantation of author William Gilmore Simms (1806-1870) was in what is now Bamberg County, and artist Jim Harrison is also a native of the county.
