CHURCH/CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

This cemetery was basically used for the plantation owners and their slaves.  
The slave graves are located near Hunnicutt Road and are to the left of the 
Brucke Family graves.  There are numerous plantation buildings that are still 
standing and are in fair condition for their age.  The farm was recently sold 
and the current owners have a camping trailer that is located near the 
farmhouse.

The original Hunnicutt Road is now gone due to the construction of the Kokomo on 
the Keowee Community.  The new road swings to the south of the old one and now 
puts the farmhouse within 150' of the road.  Across the road are now lakefront 
Lake Keowee lots.

It's undetermined if the Brucke Family is the original plantation owners.
