This cemetery is on private property. The cemetery is located on a knoll in the midst of some magnolia trees in the Cook's Hill area. Anyone wishing to visit this cemetery should contact the Old St. Bartholomew Chapter of the SC Genealogy Society in Walterboro, SC.

This is the family cemetery of Joseph Edward Glover, prominent doctor and owner of Cook's Hill Plantation, which was adjacent to the burial ground. Dr. Glover had a large mound built where his wife, Maria Ann, and several of their children are buried. An impressive monument was erected at this place made of Italian marble in New York City. It is about 10 feet tall and 2 feet square. There is no marker here for Dr. J. Edward Glover, but from the history of the Glover family, an obituary written by his son states in part, "his body is buried on the right side of my mother's grave in our family cemetery at Cook's Hill.". Also, in the Episcopal Church records, one can find: Glover, Dr. Joseph Edward, date of death, 28 July 1879, 69 yrs., 8 mos., 30 days. buried at Cook's Hill Plantation.
