Maps of Current Location of the grave of Major John Marjoribanks
The last Battle that Major Marjoribanks was in was the Battle of Eutaw
Springs (formerly in Berkeley County SC but now in Orangeburg County SC).
He fell sick on the retreat from Eutaw Springs to Charleston & died and
was buried there on October 22, 1781 on the Ravenel's plantation --
Wantoot Plantation. In 1941 the Public Service Authority empounded
Lake Moultrie covering Wantoot Plantation & they moved his grave to
the Eutaw Springs Battlefield, a SC state park of about 3 acres.
There
are about 2 other graves in the park with Major Marjoribanks grave.
On the map below, the grave yard at the park is shown as a dashed rectangle.
In the rectangle is a circle enclosing a dot which represents the historic
marker for Major Marjoribanks and North Hampton Plantation (which adjoined
Wantoot Plantation). You are looking at an 8.5" by 14 inch color xerox of
the Eutawville 1979 USGS 7.5 minute 1:24,000 Quadrangle topo map with a 5
foot contour interval. It is 100 dpi and 100% (i.e. neither enlarged nor
reduced). It was scanned in as a 3.4 Meg tiff & converted to a 760,362 byte
jpeg file. Be patient. These will take some time for your browser to
fetch. When it arrives use the slides to find in the middle of the
scanned map, "Eutaw Springs" and the "Historical Marker"
and "Cem".
