Taylor Burying Ground
In 1786 the State of South Carolina
purchased for a part of the site of
Columbia, the plantation of Col.
Thomas Taylor (1743-1833), Revolutionary
soldier. His house was situated near the
S-E corner of Richland and Barnwell
Streets, across from this walled
enclosure, where he lies buried with
his son, Gov. John Taylor, other members
of his family and slaves.
Marker is on Richland Street near Barnwell Street, on the right when traveling west.
