Charlotte: According to what I can find on GNIS (USGS National Mapping Service) and my Spartanburg County map, here is what I was able to find. Maybe this will help you more than confuse. In Laurens County there is no Walnut Grove PPL (populated place), however there is Walnut Grove Church which is about 3 miles due east of Ware Shoals (Greenwood County). There was also a (historical) Tabernacle Church about two miles north of Walnut Grove Church. My guess is that maybe Lake Greenwood project maybe got this Tabernacle Church and Cemetery? Is this what prompted the cemetery move? Is this the right place? In Spartanburg County, there is a Walnut Grove community, Church and Cemetery located about 8 miles NE of Woodruff and 4 1/2 miles SSE of Roebuck. If you look due south of this location an additional 6 miles you will find a Tabernacle Church and the site of the Rev. Benjamin Woffard's home (due east of Woodruff, about 7 miles). I'll bet this is it. The Woffards and Comptons intermarried in Laurens County in the early 1900's (Joseph Llewallen Wofford + Mabel Compton). Both of these are buried at Hebron United Methodist Church Cemetery which is about 2 miles from Tabernacle Church in Spartanburg County. If you don't have a Spartanburg County map, you need to get one. The general SC state Highway map is totally useless in this situation. Tell me more about your family. You know of the Compton connection I mentioned?
