Robertville

Named for descendants of Hugnenot minister Pierre Robert, it was the birthplace of Henry Martyn Robert, author of Robert's Rules of Order and of Alexander Lawton, Confederate Quartermaster General. The town was burned by Sherman's army in 1865. The present church was built in Gillisonville in 1846 as an Episcopal Church, moved here by Black Swamp Baptists in 1871.

Marker is at the intersection of Columbia Highway (U.S. 321) and SC-S-27-26, on the right when traveling south on Columbia Highway.
