Francis Prue (below) was buried here about the same time as the original wooden St. Philip’s Church was being built. That was 1769.  Her son, who died as an infant, is also buried in this spot. John Prue passed earlier and I didn’t see his grave. It was a few years before the Graveyard.

Based on the quality and style of the head stone it was created in New England and shipped her later on. That was common here since there were no stone carvers here at the time.

This is one of the earliest graves in Charleston. The oldest are in St. Michael’s down the street.
