The Camden, South Carolina War Memorial is dedicated to American Revolutionary War heroes who were patriots of the old Camden District.  Markers are for Patriots buried in graves known and unknown.  Patriots in the marked graves in Quaker Cemetery are Surgeon Isaac Alexander, Surgeon James Martin, Capt. Benjamin Carter, Lt. Joseph Brevard, Thomas Ballard, Samuel Mathis, and Archelaus Watkins.  Many patriots were executed in Camden during 1780 – 1781.  Those known appear on the monument. Hundreds of patriots from Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina and Virginia died in Kershaw County in “The Battle of Camden” on August 16, 1780, and “Hobkirk Hill” April 25, 1781. Enlisted soldiers killed in battle were left upon the fields and are buried in graves known only to God.
