A note for all those looking for 'old' St. Philips graves. Yes, the St. MIchael's cemetery might be one place to look. but, many of the graves at that time did not have tombstones. Or... the tombstones that were erected have been moved (you will see many piled around the foundation of the churches throughout the city) or..... the destruction on the city in the intervening years, (e.g. hurricanes, earthquakes, fires, wars, etc.) might have done them in. There are examples of wooden markers in St. Michaels's that have survived (who knows how), but I wonder how many others have been lost. If the church record indicates a burial, you might not ever find the actual site. Plus, many families were buried on their own (or a relative's)property, especially if they had a plantation or country house and the while the minister might have performed the burial and/or funeral, the burial wasn't necessarily at the church cemetery. Best bet - check with the church parish office. I think they are most likely to know. Pat >
