The oldest decipherable tombstone in the cemetery at Christ Church Frederica belongs to Harriet Ross, a merchant’s wife who died in 1803 at the age of 26. Little is known about her life; she may have been visiting the island at the time of her death.
Records indicate that burials were conducted by John Wesley and Charles Wesley during the early days of Fort Frederica, though no surviving grave markers from that period remain legible today.
