MACINTOSH CEMETERY, St. Simons Island, Glynn Co., Georgia
Transcribed by Amy Hedrick, November 2003


Sinclair Plantation

This was the plantation of Archibald Sinclair, tything
man of the town of Frederica.  In 1765 it was granted
to Donald Forbes as bounty land for his services in
Oglethorpe's Regiment.  Forbes sold to General Lachlan
McIntosh of Revolutionary fame, whose son, Major
William McIntosh, lived and died in the old plantation
house.  Here, in the family burial plot, lie the
bodies of Major McIntosh and his two children.  The
Agricultural and Sporting Club of St. Simons Island,
an organization of plantation owners founded in 1832,
used the old tabby house as their club house.

Today this is a private "neighborhood" that is gated,
permission is needed by the land owners to visit the
gravesite.

The following is a transcription of the three
tombstones located at this site.  These are the graves
of a father, and two of his children.
