Take I-26 to exit 28 in Roebuck, SC. Follow the signs to Walnut Grove
Plantation.
When you arrive at the entrance to the plantation you will be at the
intersection of
Otts Shoals Road and Harrison Grove Road. Continue straight on Otts Shoals
road for
1.2 miles (.8 miles of single lane asphalt and .4 miles gravel. The
cemetery will be
in a grove of trees on the left.
Permission of the property owner was obtained to conduct this survey.

There are 30+ other stones and broken markers in orderly rows, with no
inscriptions,
that appear to be marking graves. This appears to be a private cemetery.
On my first visit the grounds were overgrown but on my second visit the
grass,
shrubs, tree limbs etc. were cleared.
