Colonial Park Cemetery, Savannah, Georgia

This cemetery, the second in Colonial Savannah, was the burying ground for the 
city from about 1750 until it was closed against burials in 1853.

Among the distinguished dead who rest here are Archibald Bulloch, first 
President of Georgia; James Habersham, acting royal Governor of the Province, 
1771-73; Joseph Habersham, Postmaster General under three Presidents; Lachian 
McIntosh, Major General, Continental Army; Samuel Elbert, Revolutionary 
soldier and Governor of Georgia; Capt. Denis L. Cottineau de Kerloguen who 
aided John Paul Jones in the engagement between the "Bon Homme Richard" and 
the "Serapis"; Hugh McCall, early historian of Georgia; Edward Greene Malbone, 
the noted miniaturist, and Colonel John S. McIntosh, a hero of the War with 
Mexico.

The remains of Major General Nathanael Greene who died in 1786 reposed in the 
Graham vault until they were reinterred in 1901 in Johnson Square.

This cemetery became a city park in 1896.
