There were several City Burial Grounds. The stadium is
standing on one such location. There were also many other
smaller 'grounds'. I know of some that were on East Bay St
that were paved over and houses built over some sites on
Hanover St,  St John's Episcopal Chapel.

There were black and white public  cemeteries. And the poor
man's plots were more often unkept and eventually abandoned
and paved over or built upon.

If I'm not mistaken, there was a City Burial Ground on King
St at one time near Queen. (so many lost notes, and lost
thoughts... which started out as "I won't forget that!")

Have you tried contacting the Chas Cnty Library? They helped
last time I had a question concerning locations of
cemeteries.

I wish you well in you search.
