However, notes of Mrs. Louis C. Hill found in the “Calhoun, Noble, and Pickens Families” collection at Clemson’s archives state that both Ezekiel and Elizabeth were, Mrs. Hill was certain, buried at Brick Yard plantation in Charleston County, South Carolina. Mrs. Hill’s notes also state that the coffin of Elizabeth Bonneau Pickens washed up at that site in 1938 and was then reburied in the cemetery of nearby Pompion Hill church. I have now added the following to my previous posting about Ezekiel and Elizabeth Bonneau Pickens:

In typewritten notes archived in the “Calhoun, Noble, and Pickens Families” collection at Clemson University Library’s Special Collections and Archives (box 1, mss 225), Mrs. Louis C. Hill states that Ezekiel and wife Elizabeth Bonneau Pickens were buried at Brick Yard plantation in St. Thomas Parish in Berkeley County, South Carolina. According to Mrs. Hill, in February 1938, the lead coffin of Elizabeth washed up on the plantation and was reburied in the churchyard of nearby Pompion Hill church.

Mrs. Hill cites an eyewitness account by Edward von S. Dingle of Middleburg plantation, Huger, South Carolina, who reburied the coffin at Pompion Hill, and who stated that inside the lead coffin was a cypress casket with a silver heart-shaped plate stating that Elizabeth died 6 October 1803, aged 39 years and 7 months. The heart-shaped plate was wrapped in a newspaper from London dated 1803.
