Within these walls are buried Captain Troup, a British naval officer, and his wife, Catherine McIntosh Troup. They were the parents of George M. Troup, Governor of Georgia from 1823 to 1827 and U.S. Senator from 1829 to 1833. It was on this plantation that George M. Troup spent his early boyhood. Ten other graves lie within this enclosure, and the inscriptions on the marble slabs that marked them had been effaced by time before 1850.
