Bradley in April 2002 and even got an autographed copy of her book. As you probably know Mrs. Bradley's ancestors include Dr. Abraham English Williams and Georgianna Sheridan daughter of Hugo Sheridan. The book CEMETERIES OF UPPER COLLETON COUNTY, SC on page 215 makes a comment about Abraham T.. Williams may have been buried at the site of the Green Pond Methodist Church. On page 130 of her book OUR FAMILY HISTORY, Mrs. Bradley made a comment about Abraham T. Williams being buried at Green Pond Methodist Church on page 130. I don't know why she indicated the Sheridan Chapel had once stood there. On page 140 of the Bradley work is a quote from the late Beulah Glover who had written a short history of the Methodist Church in Colleton County. "Sheidan's Chapel, a log house on the Sand Hill Plantation (Round O) was a part of the Round O circuit. All that is left of it is the Sheridan Cemetery, which is now overgrown with vegetation. Sheridan's Chapel and Round O Church merged and moved to Cottageville on August 22, 1872." Sand Hill Plantaiton is to the east of Cottageville. Hugo Sheridan's grave is on the site of the plantation. A photograph of the grave is on page 141 of Eleanor's book. I had the honor to visit the grave with her and her husband during their visit to the low country. If Sheridan Chapel was on Sand Hill Plantation, it was 10 or 15 miles to the east of teh Green Pond Church.
