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.
