Spartanburg County
Jane Wells, 1788-1864

Anna Allen, 1845-1900

Mount Olive Cemetery-Atlanta, Georgia

Fulton County

Located on the edge of a park and in the shadows of Buckhead, Mount Olive Cemetery is one of the last tangible pieces of the Black community known as Macedonia Park.

Spartanburg County

Founded in 1802, the Barnett Family Cemetery is located within the grounds of Camp Croft State Park. The Barnett family was one of the early Spartanburg families.
