White Family Cemetery
Location: 10 Union Cemetery Road
From the book, “Hilton Head Island Cemeteries”, Compiled by Karen Marsh Gobrecht And John Griffin
The White Family Cemetery may be the only African American cemetery on Hilton Head that does not have frontage on the water or a marsh. This land was originally used as burial grounds for the Union soldiers and military personnel during the Civil War. After they were moved to the National Cemetery in Beaufort, the cemetery then became the White Family Cemetery maintained by St. James Baptist Church.
