Haddrell's Point is in the Charleston area, more precisely, in Mt. Pleasant, SC. I find the following information in "South Carolina Highway Historical Marker Guide," published by the SC Dept. of Archives & History, 1992. This is an inexpensive spiral bound book which is a great asset to genealogists; a more recent edition has been publsihed. URQ p. 35 "Confederate Cemetery on Carr Street, Mount Pleasant (Front) War of 1812 Encampment On June 18. 1812, the United States declared war against Great Britain. One of the first units to be mustered into service was the third Regiment of South Carolina Militia, which was stationed at Haddrell's Point, west of here, to aid in the defense of Charleston harbor. Their barracks stood within the present town limits of Mount Pleasant, and they were equipped with state funds. (Reverse) War of 1812 Encampment The 1812 monument in this cemetery originally marked a burial plot of the third Regiment of State troops. The soldiers who were buried there apparently died from disease while stationed at Haddrell's Point, nearby. Before the Civil War, the monument is said to have stood at the corner of Pitt and King Streets. It was moved to this Confederate cemetery for protection from vandalism.
