GRANT'S CHAPEL CEMETERY


Located off Port Royal-Gutherie Road on right of Hwy just before Grants Chapel Road. It is in a field on private property. It is surrounded by a stone fence in a stand of trees but is nearly hidden in an overgrowth of bushes, vines and weeds. From a distance it just appears to be a clump of trees and bushes at the top of a small hill. I had read that it was about an acre in size but do not believe it was more than half that size. Many of the tombstones were broken and unreadable. Some appeared to have been moved.  It is sad that this old cemetery which contains the remains of at least one Revolutionary War soldier is so bady neglected.  This is not a complete list of all the graves but all that we were able to transcribe at the time we were there.
