Besides these small cemeteries in the Tyger River valley on the
outskirts of the city of Spartan I also have the entire Nazareth
Presbyterian Cemetery [huge] with names going back to 1796 births.

Miller and Otts grave yard.
I find there about 25 graves, but only four with tombstones, vic.:
Josiah Miller, died Oct. 2nd,
1861, aged 83 years; Ann Miller, his wife, died 1835, aged 57 years;
James Otts and his wife,
Catherine Otts, with no dates given.  Besides these, Mr. G. Otts, who
is buried in Nazareth grave
yard, has two sisters buried there, and it is altogether probable that
Red Robin Miller and Black
Robin Miller are buried there.  It is positively known that James
Miller. the grandfather of Maj.
Martin 0. Miller, of the Mount Calvary church, and of Samuel Miller,
who lived near Flint Hill,
and John Miller, who lived a half-mile below the railroad station of
Moore, is buried there.  This
James Miller was closely related to the John Miller murdered by the
Indians, and buried close by,
but how closely I do not know, but a brother most probably,
In addition to these, Nicholls, the original settler, is buried there,
or somewhere nearby.  I judge
the fort nearby took its name from him.  It seems he was an inveterate
hunter, and climbing a tree
one night for a raccoon fell out and was killed.  Whether this
particular Nicholls was the ancestor
of Judge George and Sheriff John Nicholls, I do not know but am
inclined to think he was.
Speaking of his fondness for hunting reminds me to say that if an
ancestor. there is something in
heredity, for the present distinguished sheriff of Spartanburg County,
John Moore Nicholls, was
such an inveterate hunter in his young days, that a kinsman was led to
say of him that "John is not
a lazy boy, but really he does not have time to do any work."
Now as to the Moore burial ground, I will give the inscriptions on
tombstones to facilitate the
work of Mr. J. W. Reid, as well as for your information, but before
doing so would like to state
that this burial place was most probably begun by the burial of Capt.
Steadman, of the
Revolutionary army, who was murdered as he lay sick in bed in the
house of Charles Moore, by
Bloody Bill Cuningham, for the part he took in killing the notorious
Tory Sam Brown in the
house of Dr. Andrew Thompson, now known as the Pinson house, a couple
of miles away, where
to this day is to be seen the blood of that Tory on the floor.  His
grave is unmarked.
