Greenville County Quit Claim Deed 1982 vol.1181 p.349(pp.348-351) My direct ancestors, Haywood SMITH 1840-1914 and wife, Mary Ann "Annie" BLACKWELL 1845-1917are buried there, they lived on Ross Street in Brandon Community, Greenville, SC. Also one of their sons, William "Alf" SMITH 1880-1949 and several of his children, including twins who died abt 1923. Also a Turner grandson, Charles died in 1932. These are just the ones I can think of right now. I would hope there is already a list, haven't been able to find out if one exists. Would like to hear from anyone who has ancestors buried there. Or if you have any knowledge of this cemetery in on of the cemetery books. On the death cert., funeral records, listed simply as "burial Brandon Cemetery". Thanks, Pat Wells
