I have been researching the Dempseys, my husband's line for the last five years and the Dempsey Cemetery is located in Hampton County, SC.

To get to the cemetery you need to take Salkehatchie Road from Hwy 68 East turn left onto Henderson Hwy; goto the end of the road and turn left and go about 5 miles.
A large oak tree will be beside a dirt road and 1/4 mile down on left is the cemetery. There is a landing where the river runs through at the bottom of the hill known as Dempsey Landing off road Dempsey Landing Road.
Info. from SCGENWEB ARCHIVES for Hampton County,SC.
another way to get there is from Salkehatchie Road off Hwy 63 go N. turn right at Miley Crossroads, go down about 4 miles and the cemetery will be on the left.
I live in Texas so , I don't know when I'll get a chance to go to NC and SC for a geneological adventure on the Dempseys.
My husband's grandparents live in Greenville,SC and we just have not been up there yet.
Anyway, good luck and maybe if you get some good pictures of the tombstone inscriptions, you could share certain ones with me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Let you know which ones later, gotta go for now.
Tracy
