Melissa: I pulled my copy of "Georgians in the Revolution: at Kettle Creek (Wilkes Co.) and Burke County" by Robert Scott Davis, Jr. to see if there was any indictation of burial sites.
This is the only documentation we had on Samuel Clegg and the others were tried and hung at Ninety Six.
Robert does not give any indication of what happened to the bodies.
As a descendant of Samuel Clegg I have always assumed that all five were buried in a common grave on the fort grounds. I do know that the distance for Barbara Maria Flick Clegg or any of the family to travel to Ninety Six to claim the body would have been too great. Remember, it would have been at least a two or three day trip from Edgefield to Ninety Six to collect the body and then the same timeframe to return to Edgefield. And she had four small children to take care of.
As far as I know no archeolgical digging to recover the remains. But they are constantly reworking the grounds so maybe someday.
Contact me offline at connie@wctel.net and we can discuss.
