Old Quaker Cemetery, founded in 1759, is a cemetery located in Camden, South Carolina, in Kershaw County.[1] It dates back to the earliest days of Camden, which was first settled in 1730, and is the oldest inland city in South Carolina.[2] The cemetery is notable in that it maintains the gravesites of numerous famous people, to include members of the Quaker community,[2] Revolutionary War soldiers,[2][3] three Civil War Confederate Army generals, two Medal of Honor recipients, and one South Carolina Governor. The site contains a historical marker, installed in 2023 by the Wateree Chapter of the National Society Colonial Dames XVII Century.[1][4] It is also known as the Quaker Burying Ground.
