Our most recent mystery, “Brick fence,” showed the Heyward family cemetery at Old House Plantation in Jasper County. Columbia resident Elizabeth Jones tells us that the cemetery includes the remains of Thomas Heyward Jr. (1746 – 1809), “the last signer of the Declaration of independence and of the Articles of Confederation as a representative of South Carolina.”
Added David Lupo of Mount Pleasant, “The 500-acre plantation was settled in 1743 and grew to 16,000 acres before it burned in 1865.”
Others who correctly identified the photo were: Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Truett Jones of Summerton; Bill Segars of Hartsville; and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.Send us a mystery picture.
