Hi Brown and Martin researchers:

On my aunt's farm is a small family cemetery, the oldest burial being
1872.  The address is 1333 Sharon Church Road in Lexington County, just
a few miles from Swansea, South Carolina.  Swansea is about 20 miles
south of Colunbia on I-26.  Sharon Church Road begins at County
Route-6.  If memory is correct (this is not the way I go), Sharon Church
Road is about 6 miles west of Swansea.  About 3 miles down the road
Sharon Church Road will cross Jeffcoat Road, the cemetery will be about
1 1/2 to 2 miles past the intersection on the left side of the road.  It
is close to the road and very visible. The driveway forms a semicircle
around the cemetery.  There are a number of small family cemeteries
scattered throughout this area.
