Hi Frances, Haddrell's Point is the tip of land on the south side of Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant. After the fall of Charleston, all enlisted men were put on prison hulks in the harbor, the officers were put on parole in Mt. Pleasant and allowed to travel as far as Christ Church, six miles to the north of the village. They had to routinely check in at the Hibben House (111 Hibben Street) to validate their parole. Their is no cemetary at Haddrell's Point. I would be interested to know the source for your information on prisoner burial. Best wishes, Waring Hills Mt.

Thank you so much for the information, it was an assumption on my part that there would be some type of burial around Haddrell's Point. There were a lot of deaths of Tories and Rebels and they had to bury them somewhere. In 1782, many refugees (Loyalist) arrived and spent a few months in some type of refugee camp. There were many deaths in the camps, I wonder where they are buried. I found a list of dead the back of Murtie June Clark's book " Loyalists in the Southern Campaign". the list was from a coffin maker. It names the dead and the person who was handling arrangements but not the place of burial. One of my ancestors, Robert Phillips of Fairfield County, died Aug. 12,1782 while a refugee. I would like to know where in Charleston, the burial would have taken place. It does not make sense that he would have been taken to Fairfield County. It was August, hot and muggy, they would have buried them quickly. Do you have information on this? As for Haddrell's Point, one of my Phillips Ancestors died there, he had to have been buried nearby. This is where my assumption that a cemetery would have been near by. Thank you for your help and Happy Easter. Frances Waring Hills wrote: > Hi Frances, > > Haddrell's Point is the tip of land on the south side > of Shem Creek in Mount Pleasant.
