The Graham Vault

The Graham Vault is a burial vault in Colonial Park Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia, which held the remains of two officers on opposite sides of the Revolutionary War: American General Nathaniel Greene and British Lieutenant Colonel John Maitland.

Graham bought the plantation in 1774 and rebuilt the main house and new supporting buildings;[1] however, at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, Graham abandoned the plantation and his vault, moving back to England.

In June 1779, he fought at the Battle of Stono Ferry, in which he commanded the British redoubt and helped lift the siege of Savannah.

After returning to his native Newport, Rhode Island, after the Revolutionary War, Greene moved to Savannah in 1785 after being awarded ownership of Graham's Mulberry Grove Plantation.

Greene fell ill on June 12, 1786, and he died at Mulberry Grove seven days later, at the age of 43.
