Directions to Cemetery / Gravesite:

The old Salley Cemetery is located at the corner of Sally and Fletcher Streets in Orangeburg, South Carolina. It is a narrow brick enclosure allowing for a single row of graves and is surrounded by fencing and a locked gate. This graveyard is believed to be located on land which was part of the original 1735 land grant owned by Henry Salley. The front part of the wall is built of hand-made bricks, soft and easily damaged. The back part was an addition made, of commercial brick, to include Margaret L. Jones Salley, wife of George E. Salley. Hers, in 1861,was the last interment made in this cemetery

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
