Dr. Hamm, Google maps shows two Cane Creek cemeteries near Carlisle and Santuc in Union County, South Carolina. Google indicates that the cemetery a couple of miles west of Santuc, on state road S 44 - 36 is the Quaker cemetery. Dad had two maps from a South Carolina trip, probably in the 1970s, with the other Cane Creek cemetery located about 4 miles to the northwest of Carlisle, just off State Road 24, marked as the old Quaker cemetery. Quoting from a paragraph in my father Harold's 1989 family history book relating to the Cane Creek Cemetery in Union County, South Carolina, "Several years ago my brother, Lloyd, and I and our wives located and visited the cemetery. We obtained a map and aerial photo of the area, and with the help of local people were able to locate it. It is near the intersection of state roads 24 and 35, which is approximately 12 miles South East of Union." It goes on to say that it was solid with briars and bushes, and no evidence of upkeep. His indication that he had help from local people indicates that it was thought to be the old Quaker cemetery. Can you help me with any information on these two cemeteries?

I am relying on the book Union County Cemeteries: Epitaphs of 18th and 19th Century Settlers in Union County, South Carolina, and Their Descendants , edited by Mrs. E.D. Whaley, Sr. It shows the Cane Creek Quaker Cemetery to be on State Road 24, between State Road 36 and Swift Run Creek. The listing shows burials from 1811 to 1904, so if it is the Quaker graveyard there are no markers from the Quaker period.
