Abstract:

Some of the oldest and most interesting cemeteries in the state are in the Coastal Plain. Beaufort's Old Burying Ground is over 200-years-old and contains many interesting gravestones. It is rumored that a young girl is buried there in a keg of rum. Many sea captains and sailors are interred there, including Captain Otway Burns, who commanded the Snapdragon during the War of 1812.
