Hey Martha,
Išve seen them at a few sites in Beaufort County. While at slave
settlements, these plantations were ones that contained schools created by
the Port Royal experiment for the Freedmen. Off the top of my head, I
remember seeing one or more in the Seabrook Plantation assemblage. That
plantation was on Skull Creek.
