Patty,
Great suggestion.....a HUGE amount of information has been lost due to
"lost" graveyards.....we have no idea as to how many of our BAKER family
was buried on the old plantation during the 1800's [at least] with no
records of when or where they were buried....the property has long since
passed out of family hands, so Flat Creek will forever hold that big
secret...

However, I do know of the »approximate« location of what was probably an
old family burial plot that we used to pass by so many years ago when I
was a kid...
unless it is still under some sort of maintenance, or unless someone made
note of it and surveyed years ago, the chances are that it, too, may be
lost...like I said, I can't pinpoint it but can give some idea as to
where it is/was....this will take someone with a real knowledge of
Kershaw County and some of the old names they used to use....leaving
Bethune and heading toward Kershaw on that road [?]....out a ways you'd
come to the dirt road turn-off into the "Shamrock" area....just shortly
before you get there, on the right hand side of the road, just off the
road a short piece, was a small burial plot surrounded by a short,
wrought iron fence.....there were headstones that you could see from the
road....I have no idea now as to whose it was [I did back then]....this
is a prime candidate for some great soul to go out there and check out
before some other ancestors are lost forever......
