It indicates that there is a tombstone there. for Catherine A. Gordon. Tombstone information indicates she passed away 5 August 1849 and she was 62 years, 8 months, 5 days old at time of death. The book does not indicate a William Gordon buried there. There is supposedly a stone near Catherine's grave with no information. The book does show one William Gordan (the "a" is as shown in the book. Don't know it its a typo or how the name is spelled or appears on the tombstone.) No other information on the tombstone which is at Sandy Dam Methodist Church just outside of Walterboro on SC 64. Getting back to Pon Pon the book indicates there are approximately 34 graves still marked. My impression is that about half are McCants or related to the McCants family. Also, the book indicates the Episcopal Church in Walterboro lists at least 10 others buried at Pon Pon who have no marked graves. Looking at Dalcho's history of the Episcopal Church in South Carolina there is a chapter devoted to Pon Pon. On page 374 is a PARACHIAL REGISTAR OF ST. BARTHOLOMEW'S which includes the numbers buried there during certain years. No names are given. 1749: One burial 1751: Twenty Seven Burials 1764: 41 burials 1770: Twenty one burials. The earliest date of death on an existing tombstone is 1802.
