Trip Narrative (Brent)

July 17, 2015

Mom and I had been planning for a couple of weeks to take this trip, so I had been trying to research and get as many confirmed sites as possible to fit into our itinerary.  Tom Taylor provided a Google Map of Ellenberg sites.  I was able to use that and add in Oliver sites as well as a couple of other Ellenberg related sites I wanted to visit.

Of the twenty sites we were planning to visit, I had only visited three:  Forest Lawn Memory Gardens, where my grandparents are buried, Epworth Camp Meeting, which I had attended with my grandparents once sometime in the early 2000’s, and Star Fort, which I had visited sometime in the late 90’s.  So, I was very excited to get to see a lot of new places.

Mom had visited a few of the other family sites over the years, but it had been a long time, and many of the sites she had never visited before.  So, we expected to run into some difficulty in finding some of the sites.  I made sure to gather as much data as I could beforehand in hopes that we wouldn’t have to waste too much time looking around.

Mom picked me up at my house around 8:00.  After reviewing our overall itinerary, we set out, headed to Siloam Baptist Church and Cemetery and Ellenberg home place, which according to our map were right next to each other.

We had no problem finding Siloam.  We parked in the church parking lot and headed across the street to the cemetery.  I took a couple of minutes, but we were able to find the grave sites of my great-grandparents, Bill Ellenberg and Annie Ellenberg.  My Great Aunt Lucile was buried nearby as well.

Siloam Baptist Pictures

Our next objective was to find the site of the Ellenberg Home Place.  According to the map Tom Taylor sent, the Ellenberg Home place was essentially next door to Siloam Baptist Church.  However, the area did not look familiar to Mom.  We decided to drive down the road to look for a location that looked more familiar.  After 15 minutes or so of driving back and forth, and discussing Mom’s memories (or lack thereof), we decided that the map was correct, but the area was much more grown up than she remembered.  Also, Mom had not visited since the old Siloam church building was removed sometime in the 90’s and that also affected her memory of the area.

So, we parked back at the church and decided to walk around and see what we could see.  The area next to the church was enclosed with a barbed wire fence with a lot of vegetation grown up over it.  In the back side of the church parking lot we found a section of the fence that had broken.  We decided to climb over the remaining part of the fence, carefully work our way around the poison ivy all over the ground, and walk back into the wooded area.

Once we got past some trees and into the clearing, Mom started remembering details about the old home site.

Ellenberg Home Place Pictures

After leaving the Ellenberg Home Site, we drove down the road the Ninety Six National Historic Site where Star Fort is located.  Our ancestor Samuel Campbell Clegg was hung here in 1779 for being a British Loyalist after being captured at the battle of Kettle Creek in Wilkes Co, GA.  Clegg’s daughter married a Timmerman, who married an Ouzts, who married a Dorn, who married a Smith, who married an Ellenberg.

One account states “Exact location of this cemetery is unknown, but the burials were made within site of the Old Jail.Capt. Zacharias Gibbs, one of those loyalists who had his sentence commuted, later wrote about being imprisoned with Anderson, Clegg, Draper, Hall, and Lindley. He remembered that the ‘gallows was built within sight of the jail and graves prepared for the bodies’.  It is unknown whether the bodies remained there or were later moved.

One of the displays at Ninety Six showed a picture of the old Siloam Baptist Church that Mom remembered and was taken down sometime in the 90’s.

Star Fort Pictures

Next up was Fellowship Church Cemetery to find the burial site of William Watson “Babe” Ellenberg.  Thanks to Tom’s map, we knew where the cemetery was located and that it was located in “an unkept cemetery in the woods.”  Even so, we still had some difficulty finding it.  After driving past the area a couple of times, we pulled into an area where it looked like an access road went into the woods.^[1]  I hopped out and walked into the woods and sure enough, there were headstones everywhere.

It was at this point that I really wished I had thought to wear pants or at least long socks.  I am allergic to poison ivy and very attractive to all kinds of bugs.  Mom and I used a picture of the headstone found on one of Tom Taylor’s Random Connections blog posts to help us know what to look for.  After about 20 minutes of searching we finally located it right next to the access road, a little ways into the woods.  It was next to a gated section and a magnolia tree.^[2]

His 2nd wife’s name is on the other side of the headstone.  I do not know where his first wife (my ancestor) is buried.

Fellowship Church Cemetery

Next on the list was Epworth Camp Meeting.  This is an old camp meeting ground that our family attended for years.  I had attended with my grandparents once, sometime in the early 2000’s I think.  I think I was in high school at the time, or maybe college.  There wasn’t a lot to see except the building where the meetings are held.  There was a lot of activity going on as they were planning to start services the next day.

Epworth Camp Meeting Pictures

After leaving Epworth, we drove a few minutes down the road to Saluda to try to find Mount Hermon Baptist Church Cemetery, where my 2nd Great Grandparents John L Smith and Bettie Dorn Smith are buried.  This was a tricky one because Find a Grave website listed the cemetery and gave a location, but I couldn’t find any information about a Mount Hermon Baptist Church and looking at Google Maps satellite view, I couldn’t see any buildings or even just a cemetery.

Mom and I drove over to where the cemetery was supposedly located but couldn’t find anything.  We drove back and forth down the road a few times but had no luck.  There was one dirt road or driveway in the vicinity that we thought maybe could lead to a cemetery but it also looked like it was a driveway into a farm on private property and so we decided not to drive down it.  Mom spotted a house nearby with “Smith” on the mailbox and she briefly considered stopping and asking if they knew where the cemetery was, but in the end we decided not to.

We finally gave up in the search for Mount Hermon Baptist Church Cemetery.  However, after getting back home, I did some more research.  I also realized that it might be helpful to get on Google Earth and look at old satellite images of the area to see if I could spot the cemetery.  Sure enough, with an older image I could make out the headstones at the end of the dirt road we had considered turning onto.  When traveling North on 246 and turning right onto State Rd S-24-102, the dirt road is on the immediate right.

After giving up on Mount Hermon, we headed toward an easy to find site nearby, Good Hope Baptist Church, where John Smith’s parents, Mark and Sarah Smith, are buried.  We had no trouble finding the church and after a few minutes of searching we were able to locate the headstones.

Mark Smith’s headstone was in pretty good condition and he had an extra marker indicating his service for the CSA.  Sarah’s headstone was broken in half and the top part was lying face down in the ground.  It appeared to have been in that condition for a while as grass was starting to grow over it.  Mom and I decided to flip it over so that the inscription could be read.  We flipped it over and cleaned it off a little bit.^[3]

Good Hope Baptist Church Pictures

After leaving Good Hope, we ventured down the road to Little Stevens Creek Baptist Church.  Here we were looking for George and Frances Ouzts.  They were the grandparents of Bettie Dorn Smith.  After a few minutes of searching we were successful in finding both headstones.  It appeared they had both broken years ago and were lying on the ground face up rather than standing up.  The inscriptions were a little hard to read but we were able to make them out.^[4]

Little Stevens Creek Church Pictures

Next on the itinerary was a couple of family cemeteries.  First was the Dorn Family Cemetery a couple of miles down the road.  Information from Find A Grave indicated that that this was a possible burial site of four Dorn relatives: John H Dorn, his wife Sarah Burkhalter Dorn, their son John Dorn and his wife Frances Williams Dorn.  Having seen conflicting information online about the burial site and no pictures of headstones, I did not expect to be able to locate their actual graves.  But I figured it would be an interesting trip to a cemetery where some (possibly distant) relatives were buried.

The Dorn Family Cemetery was off a dirt road running between two cornfields.  Information online was pretty accurate and we had no trouble finding it.  There were a few headstones, but nothing we were looking for and nothing even as old as we were looking for.  Some information online indicated there may be an older Dorn Family Cemetery somewhere but I don’t have any information on where it may be located.  In the Find A Grave listing for Elijah Dorn (John Dorn’s son), someone noted that “Elijah Dorn is not buried in this cemetery. According to another family member: ‘he is buried at the Dorn Family Cemetery on the original plantation site of his grandfather John Dorn... I found the cemetery from a hand written map contributed to a book OLD FAMILIES OF McCormick COUNTY... it took us all of one Saturday to find it in the middle of the woods not to far from the map you have of the dorn cemetery on the website just off old Edgefield road.’”

Dorn Cemetery Pictures

After leaving the Dorn Cemetery, we went down the road to the Ouzts Family Cemetery.  This one was also very easy to find.  There were actually markers put out on both HWY 378 and Long Cane Rd to indicate the direction to Ouzts Cemetery Rd.  I assume the markers were put out by the Ouzts Family Association, which seems to be pretty active.  The cemetery was down a long gravel road, which appeared to be one lane only.  When we parked, we parked as far to the side of the road as we could in case any other cars drove by.

In the Ouzts Family Cemetery, I was hoping to find a headstone for George “Peter” Ouzts, the father of the George Ouzts that was buried at Little Stevens Creek.  There is a picture on Find A Grave of a Peter Ouzts headstone but Mom and I had no luck finding it in the cemetery.  There were a lot of cool old headstones but most were just larger rocks with no visible inscription.  I took a picture of a couple of headstones with readable inscriptions.

Ouzts Family Cemetery Pictures

The Ouzts Family Cemetery was our last stop in Edgefield and our last stop for the Ellenberg side.  There were five other sites that I found that I would like to visit someday but were too much out of the way for this trip.  There are two Timmerman Family Cemeteries, Graniteville Cemetery in Aiken, Walker United Methodist Church Cemetery in Greensboro, GA, and the site of the Battle of Kettle Creek, where Samuel Clegg was captured.

The first stop for the Oliver side was Abbeville, where my grandparents Albert Grady and Annie Elizabeth Oliver are buried at Forest Lawn Memory Gardens.  I hadn’t been there since Grandma passed away in Dec 2012 so I was glad to go visit.  Of course we had no trouble finding it and everything looked in good shape.  It looked like a new marker had been placed near Papa’s grave, indicating his military service in WW2 and Purple Heart.

Forest Lawn Pictures

From Abbeville, we drove across the border to Carnesville, GA.  The Oliver side of my family is from the Franklin Co area of Georgia so there were quite a few sites to see there.  On the way Mom reminisced about driving this same route when she attended Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs.  My guess is that nothing much has changed along that route in the last 38 years.

Our first stop in Carnesville was Ruhamah Pentecostal Holiness Church.  There are quite a few Olivers buried at this church, even more than I expected.  In particular, we were looking for Papa’s parents Charlie and Rilla, his grandparents John Oliver and Georgia Vandiver Oliver, and his great grandfather, Thomas Vandiver.  I was also curious to find if Thomas Vandiver’s wife was buried there.  I had not been able to get much information on her during my research and nothing indicating that she was buried there as well.

We were successful in finding all 5 grave sites.  The cemetery is pretty small and they were all near each other, as well as many other Olivers.  Mom recognized some of the names but some we didn’t know.  I was unsuccessful in finding the information I was hoping for about Thomas Vandiver’s wife, my ancestor.  Next to Thomas was buried, what I assume to be his 2nd wife.  I believe my ancestor was his first wife.  I’ll need to do a little more research on that.^[5]

At Mom’s request, I also took pictures of headstones from other families whose last names sounded familiar.  Mom wanted to do some further research on if they may have been family friends.

There were also quite a few other Olivers buried there, but we were not sure of their relationship to us.

Ruhamah PH Church Pictures

The next stop was just down the road at Allens United Methodist Church.  This was the burial site of Annie McNeil Oliver and had a memorial marker for her husband Enos Oliver.  Enos was captured during the Battle of Champion Hill in Mississippi and died as a Confederate prisoner of war in Fort Delaware, NJ.  He is buried at Pea Patch Island.  There were also quite a few other Olivers buried nearby, including their son Sims, who also served in the same company as his father.  Sims didn’t die during the war and I don’t know if he was also captured, or even if he fought in the same battle as his father.

I cleaned off Annie’s headstone as grass was starting to grow over it.^[6]

Allens United Methodist Church Pictures

After leaving Allens, we went down the road to Clarks Creek Baptist Church.  This was another location that I suspected would be hard to find the graves we were looking for, John and Frances McNeil, my 5th Great Grandparents.  John’s father, George McNeil emigrated from Ireland to Wilkes Co, NC.  George was an early Baptist minister and was an associate of Rev John Cleveland, another Baptist minister.  Their children John McNeil and Frances Cleveland married.

Because their grave sites were so old and I had not been able to find a lot of information, I didn’t expect to find anything.  Mom and I searched the cemetery for a while but were unsuccessful.  We eventually gave up and decided to move on to the next stop.^[7]

The next few stops on our list were places related to Rev John Cleveland.  John Cleveland was born in 1739 in Virginia.  He came south to Wilkes Co, NC with his brother Benjamin Cleveland.  One source described his preaching along the way: “When he would preach, the wicked people would take him out of the house and beat him severely, but he would preach on, and when they let him go, would mount a stump or log and finish his sermon."  They both went on to fight in the Revolutionary War (along with George McNeil).  Col Benjamin Cleveland was the hero at the battle at King’s Mountain and has Cleveland County, North Carolina and Cleveland, Tennessee named in his honor.  The Clevelands settled along the Tugaloo River in what is now Oconee County, SC.  John Cleveland helped start several churches in Franklin Co, GA and Oconee Co, SC.  He was assigned a circuit that included those churches in the area.  Another source noted that it was a “fairly well established fact that John Cleveland was the father of Baptist principles in the vast territory embraced by Franklin County in 1789.”  Our itinerary included stopping at several of the churches.

Next on the list was Shoal Creek Baptist Church in Lavonia.  This was one of the churches started by Rev Cleveland.  There wasn’t a lot to look at, but we decided to drive by anyway since it was on the way to our next stop.  We parked in the parking lot for a couple of minutes and took a look at the church and the old cemetery across the street.

From there we went back across the border to Fair Play, SC and Beaverdam Baptist Church.  This was the final burial place of John Cleveland and his family.  John Cleveland was originally buried with his family near his home along the Tugaloo River.  The area was later flooded under Lake Hartwell and not rediscovered until a severe drought in 1989 exposed the remnants of the burial ground.  The graves were then relocated to Beaverdam Baptist Church.

We had no trouble finding Beaverdam Baptist.  However, there was a Fair Play Presbyterian Church nearby.  In between the two churches there is a cemetery.  We started by looking through that cemetery, trying to find the Cleveland graves.  After being unsuccessful for a while, I looked around and realized there was another cemetery behind the church, partially hidden from the road.  We were eventually able to find the grave site in a section directly behind the church’s trailer storage area in their parking lot.

Beaverdam Baptist Church Pictures

After leaving Beaverdam, even though it was starting to get late, we decided to drive north and see if we could find the Colonel Benjamin Cleveland Monument.  This was a monument put up in the late 1800’s by the Cleveland family to commemorate Benjamin Cleveland.  According to Google Maps, the monument was located on Hwy 123 toward Toccoa, across from Old Madison Church, near the SC/GA border.  We meandered up back roads to Hwy 123 and found Old Madison Church, but couldn’t see any monument across the street, just woods.  We drove past a couple of times to see if we could see anything through the trees.  There was a small dirt area that we could have stopped to walk around, but it was getting too dark and we decided to head on back.

Note:  The next week, I did some more research on the monument to see if I could figure out where it was located.  I finally found a reference to it being in a park in front of Old Madison Church.  I then looked at the Google Maps Street View, and sure enough it was easily visible right off the road about a block from the area we had been looking.  Apparently Google Maps has the wrong location.  Since it was only about 20 minutes down the road from where I work at Itron in West Union, I went out on my lunch break to go see it.  I had no issues finding it this time.  It was located in a nice little park with an old well and chimney nearby.  Pictures of the monument are here.  The inscription reads “ERECTED BY MEMBERS OF / THE CLEVELAND FAMILY / S.C., GA. & TENN IN HONOR OF / COL BENJAMIN CLEVELAND / A HERO OF THE REVOLUTION / OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE / AND ONE OF THE COMMANDERS / IN THE BATTLE OF KINGS / MOUNTAIN. N.C. / 1738-1806”.

We had originally planned on stopping by the burial site of Benjamin Cleveland after we left the monument, but we decided to save that one for another time as well.

To get back to Greenville, we decided to take 123 back through Westminster, Seneca, Clemson, and Easley.  There was one more location right off 123 in Westminster that I wanted to drive past.  It was Chauga Baptist Church, another one of John Cleveland’s churches.  Chauga split off of Shoal Creek around 1796.  On our way to Chauga we did see one hilarious sight.  As we were driving down 123, there was a pickup truck pulling out of a driveway.  In the back were 3-4 people sitting in large cushioned chairs, relaxing and smoking cigarettes.

We turned off 123 at the sign for Chauga Baptist.  As we came up to the church, we could see a lot of cars in the parking lot and stuff set up in the cemetery area.  Mom and I immediately assumed a funeral was taking place so we carefully drove past.  As we passed the church I noticed a hand written sign saying “Restrooms This Way” propped up against a door.  I thought to myself that it was very odd to have a sign like that at a funeral.  As we drove closer to where the funeral was set up it dawned on us that it was a large projection screen that was set up.  Then we saw the sign for “Movie Night.”  The chairs were set up amongst the gravestones.  Mom and I about died laughing.  I’m not sure John Cleveland would have approved.

Chauga Baptist Church Pictures

We hadn’t made plans for movie night so we headed toward Seneca.  We stopped briefly for some Chick Fil A and then headed home.  I got home around 10:30, exhausted.  It was a great trip.

Here are a list of sites that I would have liked to have visited:

1. Timmerman Cemetery in Edgefield,  SC

1. Possible burial site of

1. Jacob Timmerman (1768-1826)
