I need a volunteer, or someone who'll let me know their charge, for two requests: 1)I have an old letter giving the location of a grave at St. Lawrence Cemetery in Charleston. A researcher in 1959 got this information for my paternal grandmother. It is for Thomas O'NEILL who was buried by Rev. J.J. MONAGHAN (what church?) at lot 146, section 4, range 23, plot number 10. This lot was supposedly bought by a Rev. T. O'Neill in 1862 and was sized 8-10 individuals. Only one tombstone is on the lot, that of Walter O'NEILL who was buried in 1859 by Rev. Patrick O'NEILL, his brother, who served St. Patrick's Catholic Church. There is no marker for a Thomas O'Neill, though records show he died in 1893 or, according to an old letter from the Charleston Co. Health Dept., in 1873. (misprint of dates?) Can someone see who actually purchased this lot and when, what its size is, who all might be buried there without a marker? 2)the Rev. Patrick O'NEILL mentioned above was an Irish immigrant from Kilkenny who came to Charleston about 1835 and was ordained in 1836, was the founding priest of St. Patrick's (on the Neck), and died in Jan. 1865 of pneumonia, being buried on the grounds of his church, though the actual spot is unmarked today. A brief biography of him can be found in _Catholicity in the Carolinas_. This states that when he died, his estate was bankrupt. I have looked for an obituary on him and his brother and found only brief mentionings of his death. I'm really seeking other family members who may have been with him, particularly the children of his brother, Thomas. Even if his estate was bankrupt, wouldn't there have been an administration of his estate? I would appreciate any thoughts or help with either of these...
