Kingston Area Cemeteries

One of the purposes of the DJS organization is to maintain the burying grounds of the original settlers in the vicinity of the Kingston Church, Adams County, Mississippi.

Rev. Samuel Swayze lived in Natchez at the time of his death in 1784. He was buried below Fort Rosalie on a bluff that has since washed away.
