The following information about the Midway Cemetery is from the Roadside Georgia website:

"Started in 1754 by the Puritans who settled the community of Midway, the Midway Cemetery is a traditional walled cemetery of the time. Within these walls the story of the small community between the Ogeechee and Altamaha Rivers comes to life in the graves of the men and women buried here. Probably the most famous person in the cemetery is James Screven, a hero of the American Revolution who was honored by having a county named after him. He was an early Radical leader from St. John's Parish."
