Turn right on Glenwood Road, turn left on Lenhardt Road. Ihere are two churches ai the location. The date of the new church is unknown. Sometime in the year 1925. several members of the community were in need of achurch, so they could educate and train their children in a Christian environment. The founding fathers deemed it necessary to establish the original church in what was then called the Old Brights Station School Mouse. Services were conducted there by those founding fathers under the pastorship of the Rev. 13.11. Hendricks. The school served as a place of worship until February of 1933. at which time the body was able to build New Foundation Baptist Church, which was erected near the school. Upon the completion of the new church, the founders agreed that the Rev. Hendricks continue his services as pastor of their church. Since his health would not allow Rev. Hendricks to conduct services as he wished, the administrators decided to appoint an assistant pastor. The Rev. Willie Baker was appointed as the Assistant Pastor some time in 19-12. This arrangement was maintained until the death of Rev. Hendricks, after which Rev. Willie Baker became the full-time pastor. Under the pastorship of Rev. Willie Baker, the original administration continued serving as they had during Rev. Hendricks' pastorship. The administration consisted mostly of the founding fathers who were Mr. W II Bowens Mr. Will Hunt. Mr. Bobby Smith. Mr. T. Black. Mr. Henry I.. Hendricks and Mr. William (Bub) Murphy. As time passed by. Rev. Baker fell into ill health and departed his life on earth after serving for 13 years as pastor of New Foundation Baptist Church.

SC Page 31 Little Liberia by W. J. Megginson African Americans residing in a remote foothills section of Pickens County, north of Pumpkintown. created a community called Little Liberia. Some black families evidently moved there from otherrural Pickens area. Achurch and a school were key institutions. Founded in the late 1870s, Soap Stone Baptist Church, called Little Durby. served also as schoolhouse. (William Edens, colored, is building a church in Liberia, known as Little Durby. The Pickens Sentinel, 9 Mar 1893.) Teacher C.T. Miller produced a dramatic closing exercise there in 1896 with "panorama, chants, dialogues, trios, and gymnastic" displays. (The Pickens Sentinel, 28 Oct 1880. The People's Journal, 6 Feb 1896). Personal names and titles sometimes had political connotations, as did "Little Liberia" itself. Willie Owens called his boy, born in 1876, General George Washington, Independent Centennial Owens. One family named their daughter Queen Hagood. another son King Ferguson. One man added the surname King to his slave Pompey; later a boy was called King Terrell. Little Durby, more formally known as Soap Stone Baptist Church evidently was founded in the late 1870s. for in 1881 it joined with three other churches to form the Oolenoy River Baptist Association. According to a 1980s statement, the church said its first minister was Reverend Henry Cureton, and the original building (a wooden structure) which burned in 1966) was erected in 1899; that would be about twenty years after its founding. The church likely served as the schoolhouse as well. Despite these names that some might called "black nationalism," the community seems to have functioned harmoniously with local whites most of the time. Post-World War II books and newspaper articles by whites have stressed this harmony. These reports stated that four white landowners gave five acres of land to each of their freed families—Little Liberia's original black settlers—including Talleys, Keiths, Chastains. Gowans, Terrells, Glenns, Owens, and others. Oolenoy Baptist Church, several miles to the west, adopted a policy in February 1868: "colored people can . . . can set up their own meeting house. We will not grant them the privilege of holding meetings at this place." Memories seem to have blurred both the dates and basic facts of land deeded to the black families. Tax records for 1899 show only two men, whose holdings totaled 630 acres, in the area considered Little Liberia; for most families supposed to have been early black owners, such as Owens, no deeds were recorded until a decade or more later. Some propertied families bought land rather than receiving it as gifts. Throughout the entire township, land is very hilly, poor in quality, and cheap in price, its 1899 black-owned holdings being appraised at 90 cents an acre compared to $4.15 in Savannah Township (Anderson County). Other factors suggest relatively peaceful black-white relationships. A sizeable number of African American surnames matched those of slave owners, probably a higher proportion than elsewhere in Anderson, Oconee, and Pickens counties. When black Matthew Ferguson, described as old and respected, died in 1894, he was buried in the white Ferguson graveyard. And when Andy Gowans, then the oldest black resident, died in 1928, the Pickens Sentinelsaid that "he had the esteem and respect of neighbors, both black and white." Several recent sources refer to a peak population of three hundred blacks, but some moved away, as a 1928 newspaper referred to the "once popular negro settlement." Staying there the rest oftheir lives, Christopher and Lula McJunkin Owens, both born in the 1890s, celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in 1975 and their one hundredth birthdays in the 1990s. The small church there, housed in a new building, still holds services for a group of worshipers, and the Little Liberia name survives in local conversation, periodic newspaper articles, and oral tradition.

J. Megginson Founded in 1868. Abel Baptist Church, was one of the earliest black churches in the area founded after the Civil War and freedom. It was one of sixteen churches which met in Anderson during August 1868 to form the Rockv River Baptist Association. It withdrew in 1879 to help form the Seneca River Missionary Baptist Association. In its early years the church was also called l.abelle or label in newspaper and association records. Thecemetery is divided into three sections, roughly according lo chronological periods. Cemetery //] was used from approximately 1870 until the 1920s. Cemetery ;!2 was used from the 1920s until the 1970s (with some later burials), and Cemetery #3 beginning just before I960. Generally, plots were allocated for individuals rather than families, so burials followed a rough sequential order. Single grave plots were free for members of Abel, and later for members of its offspring church, Goldenview Baptist Church. Clemson. SC. The persons in the cemetery who were born earliest in the 19"' century are Thomas Truster (1815), his wife Fannie Fruster (1832), Lucinda Whitner (1831), and Ransom R. Trimmier (1832), the person in the cemetery to live the longest, 104 years. There is a photograph of Thomas and Fannie Fruster working at Fort Hill, about 1880. Abel occupies land sold to the church by Lucinda Whitner. Cemetery //I must have been used shortly after the church was founded, in 1868. (Foundations and stones ol" the earlier building can be seen just west of the present church building.) 'fhe earliest extant tombstones date from the 1880s: Simon Manager (1884). C. E. Washington (1884), and W. . . Reid (188- (stone broken). However, there are onI) thirty-five tombstones (two illegible; two for couples) in an area that could have accommodated at least one thousand burials, depending on the space between graves. Mr. Benson believed that the area was not carefully marked out. and that graves likely were widely spaced and perhaps irregularly placed. More graves were marked with fieldstones, which since have disappeared. Cemetery #1 lies closest to both the church and to Abel Circle as African American Cemeteries in Pickens I 'ount\ SC Page 51 well as the old Greenville Flighway (now highway 93). Its latest marker (with one exception) was dated June 29, 1925, until additional burials beginning in recent years. Cemetery #2 began to be used about 1925 (the earliest marker is 1926) with the earliest graves located fartheresl behind the church. Lines arc more regularly laid out in the area nearer the church. Nonmembers could buy space in the eastern part of Cemetery H2 (accounting for severalof the later burials in Cemetery U2). Cemetery #3 is the most regularly plotted area. Its first marker is dated February 23, 1958. By the 1970s the church buried only its members and those of Goldenview Baptist Church in Cemetery #3 (free of charge). In more recent decades the church has begun burials in another area farther from both the church and Abel Road. In earlier decades people for fitly cents a month could belong to the Peeks (sometimes called People's) Burial Aid Society (Anderson, SC), which entitled them to a marker and to funeral services. The earliest PBS stone in the cemetery is 1929. Many people could notafford markers. Some of the crudely finished stones were made by Willie Williams. Willis Ignatius Peek, born in Georgia in 1883, opened Peeks-Biggs Mortuary on Church Street in Anderson on September 15, 1919. Peek had attended Tuskegee Institute (AL) and Worsham College of Mortuary Science (IL), and worked for 1-Iobson Biggs in Greenville. The first black mortuary in the immediate area was Adams Mortuary, Seneca, founded in 1925; it was followed by several other firms including Gilbert Funeral Parlor, Superior Funeral Home, and Johnson Funeral Home. Earlier mortuary services were provided by Duckett Funeral Flome in Central, SC. Burials typically occurred on the next or second day after passing. Mortuary records often contain additional information about burials, birthdates, parents, cause of death, etc. Relatives may want to consult these records to learn more about their family. State death records beginning in 1915 (microfilm available at the Department of Archives and History in Columbia and the Greenville Public Library in Greenville, SC) usually include birth and death date as well as place of burial. Many additional people buried at Abel, otherwise unmarked, could be identified through these certificates. Additionally, the firm now known as Robinson-Duckett has burial records (the last black ones being in the mid-1920s). Abel Baptist Church served as a major black community center. A school held at the church and the Banneker Masonic Lodge (still standing) were located on church property. Several other churches grew out of Abel, including Silver Spring Baptist Church, Pendleton, and Goldenview Baptist Church, Clemson. Its premises included both the Calhoun-Clemson Colored School and the Oddfellows Lodge. FLT emblems of the Oddfellows appear on several stones at Abel, as do those ofthe Masons and Eastern Star. Besides fraternal orders and PBA stones, other distinctive tombstones are those for veterans of World War I. World War II, Korea, and Vietnam—supplied by the services. Only one soldier from World War I was marked as serving with a unit outside of South Carolina, and he isnoted below; all others served in SC units, except for Truman Brown Jones, whose name does not appear in the SC lists. Nearly 1500 black soldiers from Anderson. Oconee, and Pickens counties served in World War 1. Ihe first opportunity for many of these men to travel away from their home area. Soldiers of both World War I and World War II are listed in Official Rosters of SC soldiers; (available atClemson University Library and Greenville County Library). See also W. J. Megginson, Black Soldiers in World War I: Anderson, Pickens, and Oconee Counties, SC (Oconee County Historical Society. 1994). Additional data on the World War I service men appears on their draft registration cards (available at the SC Department of Archives and History, Columbia and at Ancestry.com). Family relationships have been supplied by Mr. Benson. Similarly, information in brackets has been supplied by Mr. Benson (in taped interviews), church records, or census records. Names printed without lines between them are on the same marker or family plot surrounded by coping. Names are printed as they appear on the stone. Foster (in some cases), Fuster, and Fruisterare variations of Fruster; Heywood is the variation of Haywood. African American Cemeteries in Pickens County. SC Page 51 Some graves in each of the three cemeteries are unmarked. The term "unmarked" here covers a varietv of conditions. Some graves have no markings of any kind (though some in Cemetery til and #3 are still tended with flowers); others once had mortuary signs, now missing, while others have mortuary signs which have deteriorated and are illegible; a tew have stone markers which have deteriorated; and a few have copings or other types of markings that bear no names or dates. ;F Several graves with stone markers still have the mortuary markers as well, though not noted here. Mr. Benson's plot of Cemetery HI contains (he names of many people whose graves otherwise lack any means of identifying them (labeled "unmarked" on the following pages).

Anne Sheriff http.7/www.rootsweb.com/-cemetery/southcarolina/pickens.html by Paul Kankula Poplar Spring Baptist Church was established in 1872 as a brush arbor, located at Pea Ridge on Madden Bridge Road and near Twelve Mile River. The church was given the name Poplar because there were many poplar trees on the property; andSpring, because it was located near the spring. In the published history of Pleasant Grove Church, the following is written: Ira Ilolliday "made his living in the sawmill business and did donate the lumber for a black church, located below Daniel High School. The cemetery is all that remains of that church today." Source: Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, p. 10. It was staled, that it was a beautiful white church. Poplar Spring Baptist Church relocated in 1944 to Central, at the intersection of Foot and Watkins Streets where they worshiped in a two-story building called The Hall. Services were held downstairs in the building for many years. The present Poplar Spring is located in the same area. The church is now called New Poplar Spring Baptist Church. Ben E. Griffith, who lives in Greenville is the pastor in 2004. (Central Yesterday andToday by Mattie Mae Morgan Allen, p. 53) Source: Notes from Evelyn K. Woodruff Interview with J.

After three years (1918) the community felt a need for a suitable place ofworship and the church was moved to Old Cherry Road, remodeled and given the name of(C247) Little Hope Baptist Church. In 1918, the Little Hope Baptist Church was organized under the Rev. Harrison Wiggins and renamed New Hope Baptist Church. The Rev. J.J. Blassingame was elected as the first pastor. After two years of service by Rev. Blassingame the church was led forward by electing the men ofGod as follows: Rev. E.G. Rice 1920-1923 Rev. J.C. McDowell 1923-1938 Rev. S.M. Galloway 1938-1948, with the Rev. Gordon Williams asassistant pastor Rev. J.C. McDowell 1948-1971 Rev. A.E. Roberson 1971-1972 Rev. S.A. Mattison 1972- The growth in membership and pride of Christian people, dedication and sacrifice have led New Hope in erecting two new edifices (churches) since its founding - once in 1938 and again in 1973 The Deacons and Trustees who were a part ofthat heritage are as follows: Deacons: Samuel Holland, chairman, N.A. Morris, who served fifteen years as chairman with loyalty and dedication, Cato Spencer, Emanuel'McDowell and Frank Williams, Sr. Trustees: David Brown, chairman, Bill Williams, Thaylese Morris, Sr., Roger Owens, Manzo Crooks, Frank Williams, Jr., Leslie Williams, Thaylese Morris, Jr. and Timothy Williams.

Emma Ashmore was working for the Brock family when the Brocks donated land for the New Olive Grove Church. Tom Austin hauled the first load of lumber to the chuich site. Tom Austin's daughter was Stacy Hicks. It is first listed in the Middleton book in 1883. The church was dedicated on 5 May 1888 with 40 members. Rev. Thomas Connor was involved in buildinu the church and Rev. J. D. Davis as pastor. Thomas Conner, S. II. Chapman, B. J. Washington and L. II. T. Conner. Deacons of a Baptist church at Central. Pickens Co., SC applied for incorporation of the New Olive Grove Baptist Church. Charter was granted on 26 Dec 1900. J. M. Stewart, Clerk of the Court. (Source: The Pickens Sentinel, 29 Nov 1900. During World War II the church didn't have deacons. The one deacon the church had was sent to France. They borrowed some from White Oak Springs Baptist Church. They were Deacon R. C. Jamison and Dean Ernest Samuel Watkins (husband of Estelle Watkins). Baptizing was done in a branch below the church for many years. The church members would leave the church walking down to the branch singing Carry Me to the River. In the 1960s Deacon Mack Jamison built a concrete baptism pool beside the church. There was a potbelly stove in the middle of the church. Someone would put a sack of coal in the stove and everyone would get warm, start singing and shouting. The church burned in the 1940s. African American Cemeteries in Pickens County. SC Page 113 During the 1970s the church was enlarged adding a kitchen, a dining room, Sunday School rooms, and a pastor study. The church was also bricked during the 1970s by Rev. T. M. Morigne, Rev. C. C. Stewart, and Rev. C. Mayes, all ofwhom were bricklayers. (Source: Interview with Walter Myles by Anne Sheriffon 2 Sep 2004) In 1982 Deacon Smith and Walter Myles were chosen as deacons. Central people attended this church along with people from Liberty and Norris. Some ofthe families include Robert & Sophie Aiken, Mabel Littlejohn, Billy Dawn, WalterMyles, PeeWee Hicks, and Chisalena Robinson. Brother Jamison remembers the McKissick family from White Oak in the late 1880s with his many children. The family left and went to Union. The church belongs to Rocky River Association. Anne Sheriff interviewed Deacon Walter Myles on 2 Sept 2004 at 10:00 at the church. He gave the following information. Past Board of Deacons (2004) Deacon Board after 1980 James E.

Butler (three months) 6. Rev. F. M. Glover was the pastor when Walter Myles and his family came to church at New Olive. The Myles family lived in Norris and attended Rock Hill Presbyterian Church. Being very poor the family attended church every time the door opened. As children can sometimes be cruel, they would make fun ofthe Myles family because they wore knickers and whatever they could afford. There were ten children in the family. The children wanted to quit but Mrs. Myles would not let them. A man, Mr. Oglesby, told Mrs. Myles, that if she had the children ready each Sunday, he would take them to church at New Olive Grove. Every Sunday he would come by and take the children to church. Walter Myles was about seven or eight years old when they first attended. With ten children in this family, you can imagine how the Sunday School attendance improved. Mr. Myles said that there were many children attending the church during that time. Willie Lee Hallum was intermediate teacher, Sister Alise African American Cemeteries in PickensCounty, SC Page 114 Rosamond was youth teacher, and Grover Littlejohn was adult teacher. The students would get stars for perfect attendance. 7. Rev. T. M. Morigne (1960) He stayed about 20years. 8. Rev. James B. Blassingame of Seneca preached at the church for seven years. During his time in the 1970s, new carpet and pews were added to the church. 9. Rev.Grover Peppers 10. Hoarce Young 11. Rev. Dewayne Getu 12. Rev. BobRenvich (2000 - present) Article in The Pickens Sentinel, 24 May 1888 ~ Central, SC. 10 May 1888. The colored Baptist church near Central was dedicated on Sunday, the 5th instant The Presbytery organized at 10 o'clock, a. m., by electing Rev. G. Wright chairman, Rev. S. Sullivan secretary. Rev A Hunter, W. S. Sutherland, and J. D. Davis (who is also pastor of said church) and W. M. Anderson were the ministers present. The first business ofthe Presbytery was to ordain a deacon. Benjamin Washington was ordained as deacon. The other deacons present were Thomas Conner and Moses Robinson. The dedication sermon was delivered by Rev. A. Hunter, from the 16th chapter of Matthew, 18,h verse. He read the 122d Psalm and sung the 637 hymn, after which acollection was taken up and $5.25 collected. The second sermon was preached by Rev S Sullivan. This church has a membership of about 40, and they have a large and commodious church erected just outside the corporate limits of Central. Our colored friends deserve agreat deal of credit for building this house of worship. It is an honor to them, and acredit to the country, as the members are mostly poor and verifies the age "where there is awill there is away. To Rev. Thomas Conner belongs, more, than to any other person, the honor of building this house, and the wish of the entire community is that he may live long to worship his God therein according to the dictates of his own conscience. New Olive Grove Bapt.st Church, at the northern edge of town, is asubstantial brick building set back in aor0ve of trees. Athree-room educational department adjoins the church. This is well-furnished with modern facilities The 100 members have had the Reverend T. M. Morigne as their pastor for 16 years.

SC page /?/ Rock Hill Presbyterian Church P. O. Box 196 Norris, SC 29667 GPS Near = N34 44.025 x W82 46.043 by Gary Flynn http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemeterv/southcarolina/pickens.html by Paul Kankula Jennie Keasler, Clerk of Session - Telephone - 654-5231 —Membership - 33 (2006) Among the places of worship in this Pickens County town, Rock Hill Presbyterian Church stands out as one of the oldest. It was around the turn of the century that a small group of religiously inclined black citizens became interested in organizing a church for the community. The group was headed by Ransom Hill. Mr. Hill went around throughout the Norris area securing names of persons who would later become charter members of a church. He met with untold success. Charter members of the church became Mr. and Mrs. Zack Reid and family, Mr. and Mrs. Simon Robinson and family, Will Hallums and family and John Simpson and family. The newly organized group under the leadershipof Mr. Hill decided to become a Presbyterian affiliate. They named the new church Rock Hill Presbyterian Church because of the numerous rocks in the area and the location which was on a hill. The first elders of this institution were Zack Reid and Sidney Collins, Sr. The first deacons were Jim Young, James Simpson and Henry Craig with Jim Peppers and Jack Welborn later becoming members ofthe deacon board. Services were held initially each second Sunday, with the fourth Sunday services being added in later years. The church maintains this schedule until this day. The Rev. Dr. McDowell ofGreenville was chosen as the first pastor and made an outstanding record as the church's leader. It was some time after organizing that a permanent building was erected in 1905 for the congregation to worship. The building is yet used by the members. It was dedicated in the same year by the Rev. Dr. Dillon, one of the leaders of the denomination from Columbia. Other pastors succeeding the Rev. Dr. McDowell were the Rev. E.A. McCorkle of Fountain Inn, the Rev. E.L. McAdams of Greenville (brother of the former Rev. McAdams), the Rev. Olin Pearson of Due West and Rev. Efford Haynes ofSeneca. Land for Rock Hill Church was given by the late Jake Garrett who resided in Norris and was very much interested in the religious development ofthe community. Ransom Hill went on organizing Presbyterian churches at Seneca and Pendleton. He never wanted to become a minister or an elder or a deacon. He simply wanted to see that those around him had a place to worship. Of the three organized, only Rock Hill survives today. And Rock Hill is the only black Presbyterian church in Pickens County, the nearest such churches being located at Greenville and Anderson. Why Rock Hill became a Presbyterian church, no one knows, not even those who worship there today. Baptists live throughout the area, but there had never been a black Baptist church in Norris. The only charter member of Rock Hill living today is Mrs. Estellar Reid Griffin, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Zack Reid. Mrs. Griffin is well informed on the history ofNorris and Rock Hill Church. She needs no written notes to state facts about the area and church. When up in age, Mrs. Griffin has a memory that serves her as well as it did when she became a member of Rock Hill. She recalls the first services, the first pastors and all the members across the years. She recalls the great fellowship that prevailed, the all-day gatherings with dinner on the grounds. When this reporter visited Mrs. Griffin and her niece, Mrs. Luella E. Walker recently, Mrs. Griffin made it known that she does not attend regular now because of her health, but that she keeps abreast of what Rock Hill is doing. Mrs. Walker is also a member of the church and looks forward to a Woman's Day service planned for the last Sunday in May which she is helping to organize. Present elders of the church are Walter Peppers, grandson of Ransom Hill, Joe Chapman, Lawrence McClure, J.C. Hunter, Furman Peppers and Mrs. Griffin. Church deacons are William Oglesby, Dennis Jamison, Mrs. Daisy McClure and Miss Ernestine Evans. Trustees are Furman Peppers, chm., Elbert Welborn, M.C. Collins, James T. Peppers, Walter Peppers, Jr., J.C. Collins, Carl Foster, GregoryPeppers, Thomas McClure, Mrs. Jennie V. Keesler. Mrs. Frances McClure, Mrs. Jackie Sims, Miss Beatrice Peppers and Mrs. Gladys Harris. Lawrence McClure is the Sunday School superintendent, Mrs. Willie E. Peppers is the Clerk of Sessions and Mrs. Bobbie Foster is president of the Women's Missionary Society. The church has 45 members listed on its roll and 27 being active. The church has never owned a cemetery. Members' burials have taken place at nearby New Olive Grove Baptist Church between Norris and Central. African American Cemeteries in PickensCount)', SC Page 122 Rock Hill Presbyterian Church congregation is made up of a group ofconcerned members dedicated to their church. Many are related, either by blood or marriage. Now over 75 years old, the membership has future plans oferecting m a new structure that will take the place of the present building. With many youthful members, the church has a bright future. One never knows the effect that a person's work will have upon people or a community. The tireless work of Ransom Hill, started early in the 1900's. The work of Mr. Hill continues today and judging from the planned efforts ofthe present members, Rock Hill Church will be around for many years to come.

There is no documentation of the burials and they are not marked. George Welborn, writer for the Pickens Sentinel, wrote an article about the cemetery in the 1970s. Harold Turner recalls that he and his father went with Mr. Welborn to the graves. There was one row with about 10 graves marked with stones. r African American Cemeteries in Pickens County, SC page ]4Q Calhoun Plantation Cemetery Woodland Cemetery / Cemetery Hill Clemson University Campus Clemson, South Carolina http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/southcarolina/pickens.html by Paul Kankula Findthe intersection ofHighways 123 and 93. Drive 1.5 miles southeast on Highway 93 to Perimeter Road. Turn right and drive 0.3 miles. Stadium is located on the left-side of the road. Find the south side entrance to the cemetery - brick pillars are located on each side of the entrance. Just before you enter the fenced-in Calhoun/Woodland Cemetery, there is a small dirt road that runs a short distance to the left (west) ofthepillars. Take this dirt road until it turns to the right (north). Stop! Asyou arefacing west, you will see a downward sloped hill. This is where the Calhoun slaves are buried. There is a blackwirefence thatsurrounds the burialarea and a No Dumping sign to the right ofit. There are no markers or stones to indicate this was the cemetery for Calhoun Plantation slaves. Later, it could have been an African American cemetery for workers at Clemson University. Fort Hill was the name ofJohn C. Calhoun's (1782-1850)plantation, South Carolina's preeminent nineteenth century statesman and vice presidentof the United States. He lived in the home from 1825 to 1850. The surviving parts of the plantation include the dwelling house, office, reconstructed kitchen and a partially restored spring. It later became the property of Thomas G. Clemson (1807-1888) (Thomas Clemson married Anna M. Calhoun, daughter of John C. Calhoun). Woodland Cemeterydates back to 1837,when it was simplycalled Cemetery Hill. It is speculated that the cemetery name changed in the 1920's. It is believed that John Caldwell Calhoun, the son of Andrew Pickens Calhoun, was the first white person to be buried in this area. John Caldwell Calhoun died 7 Dec 1837. As other members of the Andrew Calhoun family died, they were buried near the child's grave. The Calhoun burial area is surrounded by a high cast-iron fence, having a large double gate- it is public accessible. About 100 yards to the west of theCalhoun plot, is the burial grounds for approximately 60 slaves that underwent excavation in the 1990's. No bones or any indication of burials were found. Many Calhoun family members, as well as Clemson family, are buried at St. Paul's Episcopal Church cemetery in Pendleton. African Americans graves are located on its west side and some unknown graves are on its south side. It is speculated that these graves might be for whites of non-family importance. Articlefound on http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usuenweb/sc/oconee/historv/h-53.txt VICE PRESIDENT JOHN C. CALHOUN PLANTATION SLAVES African Americans were a vital force in the operation and economy of Fort Hill, the home ofJohn C. Calhoun from 1825 to 1850 and Thomas Green Clemson from 1872 to 1888. Like many other Southern planters, Calhoun raised cotton as a cash crop using Slaves as labor. The experiences of the Africans at Fort Hill can be seen as a microcosm of the history of Negro's during the 19th century. Since Slaves at Fort Hill left no written record, their perspective is unavoidably voiceless in history. However, reports of visitors and family letters have given insight into understanding the lives of Slaves, who later became Freedmen at Fort Hill. A reporter for a New York newspaper, visiting Fort Hill in 1849,noted that the Calhoun Slaves lived approximately "one-eighth of a mile from the mansion. The housesare built of stone and joined together like barracks, with garden attached, and a large open space in front. There are perhaps seventy or eighty Negroes on and about the place." During a tour of the Slave quarters, the reporter followed Calhoun. As they walked, Calhoun stopped and inquired "in regard to some who were sick; among them, seated under a cherry tree, was an aged Negro man, who was, as he informed me, the oldest on the place, and enjoyed particular privileges. He was allowed to cultivate some four or African American Cemeteries in Pickens County, SC Page 141 five acres of land for cotton and other things; the proceeds of which became his property, and sometimes produced $30 to $50 a season." Other Calhoun Slaves also were allowed to plant cotton in patches conveniently located near the quarters so that they could cultivate them after their work was done. The visitor was struck by the business savvy of the Slaves, whom he described as "shrewd in getting the highest price for it [cotton] as White planters, and are as perfectly conversant with fluctuations in the cotton market in Liverpool and New York as a cotton broker." The Calhoun Slaves must also have known oftheir own value as property or chattel, which often fluctuated with the value ofcotton. As property, Slaves could be assigned as collateral for mortgages and they could be sold. However, appears from family letters that the Calhouns seldom sold Slaves from Fort Hill. Slaves did have a family life at Fort Hill. While the aforementioned reporter was visiting Fort Hill, he witnessed the marriage of a house servant to a female slave from a nearby plantation. He recorded that "the marriage ceremony was performed in the evening, and in the mansion ofthe proprietor ofthe plantation. The ceremony was performed by the oldest negro who was a sort of authorized, or rather recognized parson of the Methodist order." After the ceremony, the excitement continued with fiddling and singing. In addition to weddings, the Calhoun Slaves usually had Sundays off to attend church services. Their longestholiday occurred during the Christmas season when they were given additional provisions and a four-day holiday. Often the celebrations culminated with a party that was held in the kitchen at Fort Hill. The Calhoun's Slaves were not as homogeneous a group as one might expect. They did have the same race, but often that was where similarities ended. The Calhoun Slaves ranged in age from infants to the elderly. The oldest recorded slave was Mennemin Calhoun. (All the Slaves at Fort Hill were assigned the Calhoun name.) Her age was reported to be 112 in 1849. Her husband, Polydore, also lived a long life, and they had numerous descendants. The legend is that Mennemin and Polydore were first-generation Slaves from Africa. There was not always harmony among the Slave population. According to family letters, Calhoun treated his Slaves fairly well, but understandably they desired freedom and often were discontent. There are several accounts of Calhoun Slaves who ran away from the plantation. The discontent ofthe slave population at Fort Hill may best be explored through the actions ofthree Slaves - Aleck, Sawney and Issey. Aleck was often the only male house servant at Fort Hill. He is recorded in the history of Fort Hill because he "offended" Floride Calhoun. Fearing punishment, he ran away. When he was captured, Calhoun insisted that he be jailed for 10days and given 30 lashes. Calhoun did this, he stated, "to preventa repetition." Young Sawney had a particular position in the slave community. He was the son of Old Sawney, who had been a childhood companion of Calhoun's. Sawney was treated well including privileged doctor's care. On a trip to the doctor, Sawney set a fire to the White overseer's tent, apparently attempting to kill him. He later was sent to Calhoun's son Andrew's plantation in Alabama. Issey was perhaps the most troublesome of the Calhoun Slaves. She was a house servant and attempted to burn the house down by placing hot coals under the pillow in Willy Calhoun's room. Fortunately for the Calhoun family, the smell of burning feathers floated throughout the house, and the fire was extinguished. She, too, was a child of Old Sawney, who even though being described as "dangerous," remained at Fort Hill until freed. Despite these occurrences, there were calmer days in the slave community. The Calhoun's had skilled gardeners, seamstresses and carpenters, in addition to field hands. The problems during the transition from slavery to freedom at Fort Hill were further complicated by the changing households at Fort Hill. After Calhoun's death, Mrs. Calhoun sold the estate to her oldest son, Andrew, who operated the plantation from 1850 to 1865. After 1866, Floride Calhoun recovered Fort Hill through foreclosure and willed it to her daughter and remaining child, Anna Maria Calhoun Clemson, wife ofThomas Green Clemson. The Clemson's hired as wage hands many ofthe former Calhoun Slaves. African American Cemeteries in PickensCounty, SC Page 142 One of the Clemson servants was Bill Greenlee. He was 17 years old when Clemson died in 1888 and remembered working as the stable boy and carriage driver at Fort Hill during Clemson's last years.

Some of the earliest burials on the site were those of Benjamin Hagood's in-laws, James Ambler and his wife, Susan Hagood (Ambler), who also lived in neighboring area. (There is no proven Hagood connection between Benjamin Hagood and his mother-in-law, Susan Hagood.) Benjamin Hagood's wife, Adaline Ambler (1808-1877), and much ofher Ambler family are buried in the cemetery. Adaline Ambler (Hagood)'s sister, Ann Ambler, married Elihu H. Griffin, and they and many other Griffin family members are also buried in the Hagood Cemetery. Benjamin Hagood and his wife, Adaline Ambler (Hagood), are buried at the cemetery along with a great many oftheir descendants. Some ofthe former slaves ofBenjamin Hagood are buried outside the fenced area of the family cemetery. The cemetery is on private propeily with a caretaker on the premises and is still owned by Benjamin Hagood descendants. AfricanAmerican Cemeteriesin Pickens Count)'.

The family then removed to Augusta County, Virginia, and soon after to the Waxhaws in South Carolina before he had attained the age of manhood. In 1761 he served as a volunteer with Moultrie and Marion, in a bloody but successful expedition under Colonel Grant against the Cherokees. After the termination of that war he removed to Long Cane settlement in Abbeville. At an early period he took a positive stand against Great Britain, and at the commencement of the war was appointed captain of militia; rose to Major, Colonel and Brigadier General. In the most despondent period of the war with such leaders as Sumter and Marion he kept up the spirit of resistance against the British, Tories and Indians. He fought at Cowpens, Eutaw, King's Mountain, and in many minor engagements both with British and Indians. In fact he stood as a power of strength, and was the great protector ofall the Whig settlers in upper South Carolina. Peace being restored he served his country continuously in some public office until 1801. He made a treaty with the Cherokees by which that territory embraced in the counties of Greenville, Anderson, Pickens, and Oconee was ceded to the State. This treaty was made at Hopewell on the banks of the Seneca Ricer nearby Cherry's Crossing on the Blue Ridge Railroad. Soon after this treaty General Pickens removed to Hopewell and erected a dwelling on the hill a short distance from the tree under which the treaty was made. He owned a large body of land on Seneca River, the lower part of which he subsequently gave to his son, Ezekiel Pickens. He served in the State Convention, in the Legislature and in Congress. He was appointed Major General of militia. While residing at Hopewell, he with Gen. Robert Anderson built the first Presbyterian Church near where the old Stone Church now stands. When Pendleton District was formed he was one of the county judges, and held the first court ever held therein. About what time he removed to his beautiful and valuable farm, Tamassee, now in Oconee County, is not known, but he was evidently residing there when the war of 1812 broke out. In this emergency he was again pressed into public service. He accepted a seat in the Legislature and was pressed to accept the office of Governor at this eventful crisis, which he declined because he thought the office should be left to more youthful hands. He died August 11th, 1817, and was buried at the Old Stone Church. Early in life General Pickens married Rebecca Calhoun, March 19th, 1765, a sister of John Ewing Calhoun who was a senator in Congress, and the daughter of Ezekiel Calhoun.. They had a numerous family. (Source: Unknown Website) (100) field stone markers REESE, Hannah; Died June 8, 1857, Aged 49 years.

It was written by John R. McCravy in his column called The Historical Trail. The article was called "Goob" Keith's Grave. On a high hillside overlooking a part of the Oolenoy Valley and deep in a wooded area which contains boulders of varying sizes, a lone grave is located. The headstone is a natural boulder of rock jutting out of the ground in exactly the way it has been anchored for thousands of years. This story, mixed with sentimental feelings, is about a respected and admired Negro man who was born to a slave father and mother and was himself a slave for a time before the War Between the States. He told of being sold to one of the Keith brothers of Pumpkintown for $1,000 when he was a lad of 13 years. He told of prospective buyers examining his muscles and making bids on him during the auction sale. This man took the name of Keith since all slaves had the last name the same as their owners. He was called Sam Keith, but later he was called Goob as a nickname. How he came about being called this is a puzzle. Perhaps it was made by a very small child who said Goob instead ofGood. To say that Sam (Goob) Keith was good, would be putting it mildly. Goob was an unusual person. He bought and paid for his home and farm which overlooked the Oolenoy bottoms. He was resourceful and independent, honest and completely trustworthy. His predictions were thought-provoking. He said he believed breathing automobile exhaust fumes were harmful and would cause lung disease and cancer. He also said stomach trouble could be caused by eating vegetables which were grown with commercial fertilizers. He believed chemicals in fertilizer could be present in the vegetables and plants grown fast by the stimulating effect of chemicals producing an unnatural food which would be hard to digest. Goob Keith may have had much truth in those remarks. He grew all of his vegetables with leaf mold and woods earth, compost and rotten vegetation called humus. At one time he produced the finest peaches and apples grown in African American Cemeteries in Pickens County, SC Page 146 the valley. Heunderstood erosion and he built rock fills in washes which soon filled upwithtopsoil andwas put into production. Some may have a tendency to call Goob an Uncle Tom like the Uncle Tom ofHarriet Beecher Stowe's novel but this is not the case at all. Goob was respected and admired by everyone and he was resourceful and frugal. His high morals elevated him in the eyes ofmost white men. He loved his Lord and could return thanks at the table with more eloquence than manypreachers. He had the greatest faith in prayerand he prayed constantly. Goob was the only Negro man to live in that particular section of the county. He had very little to do with other members of his race. He said he was Indian and not a Negro. He said Indians did not have hairy chests; he would then pull open his shirt neck to show a smooth chest. A smile went over his face each time he did this. Come to think ofit, Goob could have been part Indian. Goobmarried once and had a son. His wife had died many years ago and his son went away a half century ago and never returned. Goob Keith lived on in the old place he had bought and developed. When he was about 90 years old, he became sick and feeble and with no one to look after him, he went to the Pickens County Home, where he died in 1935. His one request was to be carried and buried in front of the rock boulder near his home. This rock is a natural tombstone and it faces east. His request was carried out to the letter. His casket was carried to the top of the knoll near his home and there interred in front of the large rock he had looked at so many times and thought would be a nice tombstone. The Rev. H. A. Newton conducted the service in the presence of Goob's many white friends who had brought a number of floral contributions. Thirty or more friends were present but the only Negro in attendance happened to be the gravedigger. This grave is in a hard-to-reach place, since it is on top of a knoll in a thicket ofpines and dense undergrowth which reflects the fertility ofthe soil ofhis once-productive farm. Mr. and Mrs. John Chastain, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Lynch along with my wife, my granddaughter and I, climbed the knoll recently to visit the grave. We cut bushes and undergrowth to clear a trail and this writer chiseled the words, "Sam 'Goob' Keith, 90 yrs. 1935" on the boulder tombstone Goob was a natural entertainer; he sang many songs as he played the accordion. He knew folk songs and the ones popular in his day. At times he would surprise his listeners with excerpts from light opera and songs ofdeep feeling.

Edith, who lived with her husband James Henderson on Rock Springs Road, remembers this cemetery well, because she walked by it every day. There was a church building that looked more like a shack than a church. The church burned down at some point in time and she doesn't know what happened to its membership. "When the Old Pendleton Road was being widened and asphalted, a few graves were moved to Clemson University's Poultry Center on Cherry Road - that was also for colored folks. (C248 Pickens (Hopewell) Plantation Cemetery." Her daughter's name is Mahala - Edith lives with her near Monks Corner, SC. Paul Kankula and Gary Flynn visited this cemetery and found only one readable rock. Bridges, Nela, b. 1896 d. 1899 "I'm notgoing to be ofany help, but I remember this cemetery from when I lived in Pendleton in the early 1970's. If you'll recall, I told you I roamed all overthat area looking for historic sites, even bought a road legal dirt biketo get into inaccessible places. Unfortunately, I never recorded any of the stones I found, but I distinctly remember that there was more thanone stone in thatcemetery at the time."

Near 120 Slab Bridge Road, Liberty, SC 29657-9627 http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/southcarolina/pickens.html by Paul Kankula It's reported that this cemetery is located on private property (120 Slab Bridge Rd, Liberty, SC 29657-9627). New Grove Baptist Church, organized in the early part of the 1900s, was located five miles from Liberty on what is now Slabtown Bridge Road just inside the Anderson County line where it bounds Pickens County. The membership ofNew Grove was never large in the black community. Most of the members who gathered each first Sunday in the month for services were from the immediate neighborhood. A cemetery for the membership was located adjacent to the church. New Grove came to an end in 1943. f With young males going off to World War II and families moving away from rural areas, the community lost many ofits citizens and the church lost its members. The last families „ of the church remembered were the Bowens and the Phinazees. W. M. Brown of Anderson was the last pastor. For a number of years, New Grove's cemetery was preserved by those who purchased the property after the church's demise. Julia Jean Woodsonand G. Anne Sheriff.

The land was sold to the congregation on November 27, 1882, with Benson Hallums, Gilbert Blassingame, and Cary Pickens as trustees. Benson Hallums sold the one acre, "on the road leading from Five Forks to a Brick Church named Carmel," for fifteen dollars to the trustees. The Church, situated on a 1.8 acre tract, thrived and prospered for a number of years. The departure of many members from rural areas to the towns and cities, together with deaths of the members, decreased the congregation. The church closed in 1922. A longtime pastor of the church was the Rev. Tillman. Families who maintained membership during St. Luke's existence included the Hallums, Blassingames, Edmond Welborn, Ann Welborn, Boggs Family, Reid Family, and Simpson Family. The site of St. Luke Church is maintained. It is a weeded area with a cemetery marked only by some field rocks. A granite marker on Flat Rock Road recognizes the former chuich and its contribution to the community. Julia Jean Woodson and G. Anne Sheriff.

BETHLEHEM METHODIST (White Church) This church was founded following Bishop Francis Asburys and Bishop Whatcotes visitthrough the areaNovember 1800 on their way to Pendleton. It was organized about 1802 by Miss Martha Tatum as a brush arbor and called Tatum Meeting House. John Tatum gave land fora Methodist Episcopal Church. A one room log cabin was erected. A deed dated 8 Aug 1807, recorded 1 Apr 1818 shows Jesse Tatum gave two acres for a cemetery. Per Mrs. Olin Nalley, a descendant of the first preacher, Charles Durham (he was blind), the present structure is the fourth one, it was built 1904. Since then new windows and a pulpit wall mural and siding have been added. Among other early ministers were G. R. Shatter, Elnathan Davis, Anderson, John O'Wilson, and Rufus Childs. Some family connections were: Tatum, Mann, Gilstrap, Bates, Crane, Cochran, Adcox, Newton, Byars, Roper, McWhorter, Durham, Mullinax, Fergerson, McCollum, Lesley, Ellis, Major, Morgan, Haynes. The influence of an invalid grandmotherCrane, led B. B. Crane to bequeath a liberal support which greatly helped during the 1930s and possibly contributed to its continuing during many trying times. An educational buildingwas completed in 1967, new pews installed in 1968 and a Storydark piano added 1969. In the 1970s some members became unhappy, pulled out and organized another church.

The Rev. J.R. Jennings was the first pastor. John Arial was church clerk and also gave the land on which to build a church. The first Sunday School was organized in 1859. The small but sturdy brick church was used as built until 1943 when a baptistery was installed and classrooms added. The original pool still stands on a small creek behind the church. (1968 Article). In 1949, construction was begun on a parsonage and in May 1951 the church went "full time" with the Rev. C.C. Turner as pastor. The church observed its Centennial at homecoming services in August 1951. A building committee was appointed in December, 1954, to plan for additional space. In 1955 the church voted to build an entirely new sanctuary and educational facilities. In October, 1966, this work was completed at a cost of approximately $41,000. The building contains a sanctuary with seating for 300, 18 classrooms, pastor's study and nursery. This building has since been air conditioned. In 1966 a modern parsonage was constructed on the same site as the previous one. Graves are on the right at the end ofthe road thatgoes through the cemetery.

Mr. Newton bought the church and cemetery property from the church in 1974. The last pastor ofthe church was the only surviving member ofthe church at the time ofthe sale and he signed the deed. Mr. Newton said his name was Rev. Cunningham. Mr. Newton also stated that the last service held in the church was a funeral in 1954. He said that there were Rosemonds, Simpsons and Liddles buried in the cemetery. Only three headstones and two funeral home markers were located. There were several fieldstones and numerous unmarked graves. Other headstones may be covered with leaves. The cemetery iscovered with small trees and some underbrush but isnot difficult to walk through. Mr. Newton said that he would not refuse any family member access to the cemetery. He only asks that they do not smoke because ofthe fire hazard and that they respect his property. The cemetery is at the very edge ofhis yard and the old church was about 200 feet beyond the cemetery. The church and cemetery was on the old Walhalla road and ran in front of Mr. Newton's house and then past the cemetery and church.
