-------- Original Message -------- Subject: {not a subscriber} Liddell-Reeves Burying Ground Date: Thu, 5 Oct 2000 15:33:41 -0700 From: "John Randolph Calvert, MD" <exandoc@iamerica.net> To: <SCANDERS-L@rootsweb.com> I'm researching the family of Andrew Liddell (1750-1733), who moved to the Anderson, SC, area in 1790 from the Abbeville District. He received a grant of land on Six and Twenty Creek, in/near Centerville. Apparently there is/was a family cemetery on the property, "six miles north of Anderson," "in the midst of large fields and a half-mile from a public road," "just above the Earles land on the Six and Twenty." I think the cemetery may be called the "Reeves Burying Ground," or the "Liddell-Reeves Burying Ground." I need exact directions to this cemetery, and whether the land is privately owned, and by whom. Whom would I contact for permission to visit the cemetery? I need very specific information, so that with a limited amount of time for a visit to the area I can get photos of the cemetery to show at a family reunion in November. Carol A. Hubert
I just want to thank you for your email warning of errors in the Cemetery Survey and adding that errors are COMMON in all transcriptions. I've found them over and over in almost every book that has transcribed records. Ususally it's just a matter of transposed digits in years but sometimes more serious -- in the Index for the Book of the Dead for Anderson County, some "helpful" soul thought they were correcting the author's spelling of Crayton. They assumed that it should be CLAYTON. It isn't. The family name IS Crayton. Anyway, anyone using transcribed records should be aware that they are not 100% reliable.
