If you would be interested in joining send only the word SUBSCRIBE to SC-CEMETERIES-L-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM This is a mailing list for anyone interested in locating, and preserving historical information about, South Carolina cemeteries. We welcome queries and postings regarding location of graves, cemeteries which have been indexed both on the internet and in other written forms, cemetery research, and the care of tombstones. I look forward to this list becoming another valuable tool for those researching in South Carolina. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Hello, I am researching the Drummond family of South Carolina from the late 1790s up to 1835. Two of my fifth great-grandfathers, Henry Drummond of Ireland and David Melton of NC, are on the 1820 Pendleton Dist. census. Henry's son (Joseph Berry Drummond b: 1817-20? in SC) and David's daughter (C. Elenor Melton b: 1820-23? in SC) married in 1843 in Cass County, Georgia. I have also just learned this from the "South Carolina Naturalizations, 1783-1850": "S.C. Pendleton District. Petition of Daniel Drummond, a native of the county of Antrim in Ireland, has been a resident in the U. S. A. 15 years, and the whole time in this state ... October 26, 1813." Henry was born in Ireland around 1793 and could be a son of this Daniel. I invite you to please check out my site at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gdrummondjr/index.html It has a lot of info on the Drummonds and many other surnames especially those from the Orangeburg Dist. If anyone has any info on the Drummonds or Meltons I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, Glen

I, too, have only recently started working on my UNDERWOODS, and they seem to have come from Va to Union Co., SC, where I found them in 1790. Two brothers, John and Annet, were there. John d. 1808, Union Co., SC, and Annet came w/his family to Pickens Dist. bef. the 1830 census. Annet must have d.c1839 as he wit. a deed in 12/1838, but he is not in the 1840 census. I am trying to tie sisters Sinia & Matilda to Annet as his daughters. They married SHERIFF brothers, Nathan and Washington, in Pickens Dist. I am also looking for burial places, too. Thanks!

Lucy and Joel were in GA by 1838 when their first GA born child came along. However, the first three children are given NC birthplaces, so if Joel met Lucy in SC, they may have returned to NC, near others of his family, before moving to GA near others of her family. I have not found records of Joel between his birth in NC ca 1805 and his appearance in GA in the 1840 census of Union Co GA. I also know they were in Gilmer Co GA for a while then returned to Cherokee Co NC and ultimately ended up in TN. One of their sons is named Seaborn Underwood and if Lucinda is who I think she is, one of her brothers was Seaborn Loveless. These Lovelesses came from Rutherford Co NC/Spartanburg Co SC to Pendleton Co SC (and perhaps some other stops in between) and from Pendleton went to GA sometime between 1820 and 1830.

Is anyone searching the families of UNDERWOODS in Pickens Dist., SC? This is one of my mother's lines, and I've really just started working on them recently. It appears that they moved from Union Co., SC, to Pickens Dist. by the time of the 1830 census. One family Annet and his wife Elizabeth TEAGLE UNDERWOOD. Annet was a male, prob. born in VA, and he died betw/ Dec. 1838, and 1840. They were prob. the parents of Richard UNDERWOOD who married Elizabeth BIRAM(?). In my line, Nathan/iel SHERIFF md. Sinia UNDERWOOD, and his brother, G. Washington "Wash" SHERIFF md. Matilda UNDERWOOD. (I am desc. fr. Wash and Matilda.) I have a good deal of info and feel that these UNDERWOOD sisters were prob. daughters of Annet and Elizabeth TEAGLE UNDERWOOD. Sinia named a son Annet SHERIFF, and I don't think she would have used the name Annet unless he was her father as it is prob. a difficult name for a male to deal with, as least in more recent times. Some of the SHERIFFs are listed as being buried at the old SHERIFF Family Cemetery/Old Zion Church. Is this the same as Zion Methodist Church? If not, does anyone know where it is??? I would appreciate any help w/these folks very much! Thanks, Dolores Miller Pringle

Hi All Looking for the children of Thomas W. Shirley and Myra Neal, married (probably born) in Central, SC. My grandmother Florence Edna Shirley is one of the children. She married my grandfather in 1920 in Central. He ran the barbershop there for many years. My cousin tells me his barbers pole and chair are now in the Central Museum! lol :-) -- Cheers!

Hello, I have family from the Pendleton area of South Carolina going back to the 1820s and prior. It seems that name does not exist anymore as a county in SC. I do not know that much about the area or its history. I'd appreciate any info. My fifth great-grandparents were (paternal)Henry Drummond and Sarah Canady; (maternal)David and Susan Melton. They are on the 1820 Pendleton census page 198/199. I have a web site that has more details. Please take a moment and check it out. I'd be happy to share any info with those interested. FYI: I also have deep roots in Orangeburg, SC. If anyone connects to that area you should really take a look at my site. Thanks a lot, Glen http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gdrummondjr/

I am looking for the father of Harold McJunkins who was born in May of 1915 in Central. His mother was Genny Wright, who is listed as a widow on the 1920 census, with two young boys, Harold and Edgar, who was born about 1912. Genny still lived with her parents in the 1910 census, so I am narrowing their marriage to about 1911. Does Pickens County have marriage records from that time? What is the best way to research this - thru marriage, death or birth records? Dawn

I am trying to find out about the Cleveland Cemetery that is at the SC Welcome Center on I-85 coming from GA. I understand that from info from Paul below that many graves were moved to Beaverdam Baptist Church in Fair Play, SC in 1998. Some [about 6] stones are still on the top of the hill at the welcome Center but I am trying to find out about the ones that were moved and who was in the cemetery before the move.

THE CURRENT BEAVERDAM BAPTIST CHURCH FOLKS MIGHT KNOW SOMETHING. HOWEVER, I HAVE NOT FOUND THEM TO BE VERY HELPFUL IN THE PAST. Where did you find the recordings for that graveyard? I'M GUESSING THAT ANN ROGERS OF WALHALLA DID THE ORIGINAL RECORDING AND ADDED OBIT INFO TO IT. CHECK THE OCONEE COUNTY CEMETERY SURVEY BOOKS TO SEE WHAT THEY CONTAIN. MAYBE THE INFO CAME FROM A CIRCA 1930'S W.P.A. SURVEY. I USUALLY DON'T DOCUMENT THIS TYPE OF INFO. I THINK THE GRAVE RELOCATION INFO CAME FROM THE HISTORY OF CHICKASAW POINT - THEIR CLUBHOUSE LIBRARY HAS A COPY OF THE BOOK. GARY FLYNN AT KE8FD@MSN.COM MIGHT REMEMBER FOR SURE... I am asking as those families connect to my wife's family and it may make a difference as to who is buried with those Clevelands that are still in the Welcome Center. Wander why they didn't move all of the people to that church? EXPENSE. $600-800 PER GRAVE. I have lots of questions on these folks. You have done opened another "can of worms" for me. And that is good. It will just make more proof on these guys.

Hi, I am at my father's in Easley but will check on the 1800 as soon as I get back to Myrtle Beach. Sorry I didn't remember to do it last week. As a matter of fact, why don't you drop me a line on Monday to remind me. Please remember to write to this addr: dmpringle@sc.rr.com Thanks for reminding me! Dolores

Hi Dolores! I don't think you sent me that information on the Boren's in the enhanced version of the 1800 Pendleton District. I would appreciate having the information, though. Thanks!! Patricia Cantrell
