About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Wright Square Burial Ground was the first cemetery for the residents of Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia dating back to the late 1700's and early 1800's. As the city of Brunswick grew and a new cemetery opened a few blocks to the northeast, the Wright Square Burial Ground was lost to development. Homes, streets, and a school were built on top of the abandoned and forgotten cemetery. After the school was torn down in 2012, the public works department excavated a small area and discovered a section of the long lost cemetery. Experts were brought in to do a more thorough investigation of the site and discovered approximately thirty-seven graves. There was no evidence of headstones in the excavation. Today, a monument is all that stands to commemorate the site that once interred the early settlers of the area.
