Elizafield Burial Ground
African-American
From exit 42 off of Interstate 95, travel
.7 miles south east on Hwy. 99, turn left [north] into the Morning Star
Property.
This is the cemetery for the slaves, and
their descendants, of Elizafield Plantation. There may be many more
graves located in this area, however, 17 of them are marked. Two are
suspected to be grave sites within the marked interments. There is
no telling how many more may be in the surrounding area.
Cemetery was transcribed by Amy Hedrick on
18 February 2004. Cemetery was updated 15 March 2006.
Map
Map is now incorrectOn 21 April 2006, a young woman named Tanisha Reddick was
struck down and killed by a hit and run driver. She was sent here from
Louisiana as a Katrina Refugee with her two sons and their father. On this
fateful night, she and her friend were crossing Hwy. 341, when they were struck
by a passing motorist, Tanisha was killed instantly, her friend and
father of her sons, survived. The driver was caught later in the week, as
of January 2006, he is now out on bond.
According to her obituary in the Brunswick News, she was buried
in Greenwood Cemetery. From a recent trip to Elizafield, I found her
grave. Her remains were placed at the back of the cemetery, causing a new
row. The way I read a cemetery, Tanisha's grave created a new ROW 1
GRAVE 1, this transcript has been renumbered accordingly.
