According to the Darlington District Cemetery Survey Vol. II, local tradition indicates that Captain John STUART of the Revolutionary War is buried in this cemetery in an unmarked grave. The cemetery has not been maintained and has been overtaken by nature, but we did find three headstones lying on the ground for the following individuals: Eliza C. PARROTT, 22 Mar 1845-14 Jul 1917, wife of J. T. (Jacob T.) TRUETT, 24 May 1855-3 Jun 1918, shared stone (daughter of Lemuel PARROTT) TRUETT Infant of J. T. TRUETT and E. C. TRUETT, 5 Apr 1882-5 Apr 1882 Lemuel H. PARROTT, 5 May 1805-23 Dec 1880 and wife Eliza PARROTT, 18 Aug 1810-30 Oct 1890, shared stone (son of Benjamin PARROTT) On Ancestry, a few Family Trees submitted for Benjamin PARROTT contain this sentence, "Benjamin was buried in the Stuart burying grounds about 10 or 15 feet southwest of old Captain Stuart's grave. Benjamin's tombstone had all of the dates on it. It was ruined by vandals who tipped over a lot of monuments in the cemetery prior to 1975." I contacted one of submitters, who did not have a source for this statement, but believed it may have been included in a magazine entitled "Parrott Talk", published in the 1970's. I believe the cemetery is located on what was once STEWART land and may be the burial grounds for many more of our STEWART ancestors. If anyone has any information on this cemetery or has access to the "Parrott Talk" publications, please contact me. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
