Hello Everyone, I have looked at this preliminary map several times and have shown it to a few people, I am uncertain though where it would be on an actual map. I am aware of the Bush River site but there are multiple sites targeted for restoration. Is there a map, pdf or picture with targeted sites identified for an overview? If not then maybe the location of the Pagett's Creek site. I would like to look at it on Google maps and also ther relations or distance of sites on Google maps. I am very excited over the work being done here! Robert Henspert Cooper "Little Robert" ________________________________ From: Judith F.

The earlier report on Padgett's Creek at the map coordinates, but try this in maps.google.com and you should see the map and the "street scene" with the gate to the dirt road to the Cemetery: 1940 Old Buncomb road, Sedalia, Union Co SC It can also be found on the online Nat Geologic Survey maps of Union Co., I think. Also, a DRAFT version of the report, with our current best attempts at matching tombstones with photos and inscriptions is at: http://askgrannyus.posterous.com/padgetts-creek-powerpoint ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Cooper" <henspert@yahoo.com> To: <sc-bushriverquakers@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 23, 2012 2:48 AM Subject: Re: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] DRAFT map of Padgett's Creek...and more Hello Everyone, I have looked at this preliminary map several times and have shown it to a few people, I am uncertain though where it would be on an actual map.

Friends: PLEASE USE CAUTION if you plan on visiting any of the old South Carolina Cemeteries!! I believe that turkey season starts April 1 and others follow. If you are unsure about shooting days, check online with Department of Natural Resources (or the SC equivalent) to learn which days it is safe to walk in the National Forest, which surrounds many of the burial grounds.

And, keep a close eye out for snakes, especially rattlesnakes. Rattlers are just coming out of their hibernation and are very cranky. Always carry a long stick and use it to beat ahead of you in thick brush. Snakes are shy and will crawl away from you if alerted, but will strike if cornered or suddenly surprised. Never kill a snake, unless bitten, especially non-poisonous ones, because they keep the mouse and rat population under control. If bitten, try to kill the snake to take with you for identification (non-poisonous ones will also bite) at a medical facility. If bitten, never panic and run because your blood flows faster and the venom works more quickly. It's also wise to take a snake bite kit with you, especially if you are far from help.. ************ I Support The Chester District Genealogical Society Richburg, S.C. http://www.compact2.net/chestergenealogical/index.asp ________________________________ From: Judith F.

Robert, if there is an actual physical address or a set of crossroads, you can look at it using Google Earth. I found several old cemeteries just using the highway number and a crossroad "near" where I thought they were - and then scanning up and down the roads. It's too cool.
