DUPONT FAMILY CEMETERY
Flagler County, Florida
(Section 38, Township 10, S, Range 31, E) (Plat 5, pg 12)

 

This cemetery is located on private property south of Marineland, FL. To get to the cemetery you take a small shell road (located ½ mile south of the Marineland City Limits sign) west for approximately 3/4 mile where you will come upon the cemetery which is surrounded by a wooden fence. The road has a chain over its entrance with a No Trespassing sign and is next to what looks to be a small telephone exchange building.

From the town of Flagler Beach, go north on State Road A1A (formally SR 140) for 15 miles. Turn west on sand road and continue NW .8 mile to the cemetery which lies on the west side of the road.

According to John C Hall of Houston, MS, a long-time researcher of the Dupont Family, Abraham Dupont’s wife, Jane Verdier Pepper, is buried in the old DuPont Family Cemetery in Jasper CO, SC. It is located about 2.5 miles southwest of downtown Ridgeland, on Okeetee (Hunting) Club property.

On her grave marker, Jane Verdier Dupont is identified as being the wife of Abraham Dupont and it states “she departed this life 4 March 1828, in the 39th year of her age. Per Mr. Hall, the descendants of Ann Dupont and Augustine Buyck, who married in the Catholic Church in St. Augustine in October 1800, located and cleaned up this old cemetery about 2001, with the help of several of the Florida Dupont’s. They also installed a large commemorative granite marker therein,

Mr Hall also advised that Abraham Dupont is the son of Charles DuPont, R.S. and Sarah Coachman.
