Some ignorant landowners who have cemeteries located on their private property, are preventing family members from visiting, using and maintaining the graves of their love-ones buried there. Some of these ignorant landowners, or their livestock, are even desecrating these cemeteries. A cemetery is a place not only for the burial of the dead, but for an expression of love and respect by the living...
Family members have the LEGAL RIGHT of burial, visitation, maintenance and
beautification of family cemeteries per S.C. Code of Cemetery Laws.
SC Code 16-17-600 Destruction or desecration of human remains or repositories thereof including Native American burial ground or burial mounds.
SC Code 27-43-10 through 27-43-40 Removal of abandoned cemeteries.
SC Code 6-1-35 Preservation of abandoned or unmaintained cemeteries.
SC Code 27-43-310 Access to cemeteries on private property.
SC Code 16-11-780 Prohibition on entering certain lands to discover, uncover, move, remove, or attempt to remove archaeological resource.
Visitation to cemeteries located on private property, should be prior arranged with the landowner. Contact your local sheriff to enforce this law, if, the landowner is preventing visitation. Also provide your sheriff with (2) copies of the above Code 27-43-310 law before attempting your visitation.

1860 Slave Schedule Census could not be physically found for Anderson, Chester, Chesterfield, Greenville, Horry, Kershaw, Landcaster, Laurens, Lexington, Pickens, Richland, Spartanburg, Union & York Districts. Slave Schedule Microfilm has been located for the Kershaw, Richland & Union Districts but not actually viewed.
Plantation nicknames were not normally shown in the 1860 Slave Schedule Census -- only the owner's name. Plantation nicknames names, if known, will normally be listed as aka (also known as).
In 1860 SC had ~500 plantations of 1,000+ acres or more. Very few of these plantation locations have been GPS location mapped. Homes were often burned after the slave emancipation, because landowners could no longer afford to pay their taxes. However, many burned-down plantations still have existing homestead foundations that can be mapped.
It's assumed that if a plantation had over 100 enslaved workers, that there would have normally been a separate cemetery provided for workers. Often a cemetery for the landowner's family would have also been located on the plantation, but always kept separate from their enslaved labor.

Some F-a-G cemetery name submittals only represent a plot (gathering) of family graves -- that's located within another cemetery!
Some F-a-G church name submittials only represent a church's locationt with no adjoining cemetery!
Some posted F-a-G GPS locations are very inaccurate and they will rarely ever get corrected by its submitter!
