Captain Roger Gordon
In 1732 Roger Gordon led 40 Scotch Irish to found Williamsburg Township, (Kingstree), one of 11 inland sites granted by the Provincial Governor in King George’s plan to develop a successful English colony in South Carolina. In 1738 the town acquired 2 acres of his land to build Williamsburg Meeting House, original site of the Williamsburg Presbyterian Church and this cemetery. Capt. Gordon died in 1750.
