----------------------------------------
The following information on the GREEN POND UNITED METHODIST CHURCH CEMETERY 
(located in Clover, SC, York County, on Highway 55 -- one mile west of 
Junction 557 (across the street from the church)) was gathered by Dee Walker 
(afamcem_dw@yahoo.com) in October 2000 and updated on January 9, 2001 for 
inclusion in the USGenWeb Archives. Nearly 150 names are listed below, 
although there are probably 200 or more graves in this cemetery.  
Unfortunately, several of them either have stone markers with no inscriptions 
or have no markers at all: it is possible and also highly probable that many 
of these unknown graves are those of former slaves. Also, several graves 
amidst trees at the back of the cemetery were difficult to reach.


Anyone who has additional biographical information to offer on any of the 
deceased buried at Green Pond UMC cemetery; and anyone who would like to read 
additional data on the church and the cemetery can contact Dee Walker at 
afamcem_dw@yahoo.com .


Family names include: ADAMS, ALLISON, ARMSTRONG, ASHE, BERRY, BLACK, BRATTON, 
BYERS, BYRD, CAMPBELL, COLLINS, CONNOR, CURRENCE, ERVIN, FALLS, FEWELL, 
GAITHER, GLENN, GOODMAN, GRAHAM, HALL, HART, JACKSON, LAWRENCE, MCCLINTON, 
MCCONNELL, MINTER, MOORE, MOSS, NEELY, PEGRAM, PETTUS, PHILLIPS, PRESSLEY,  
PRYCE, ROBERTS, ROBINS, ROLLISON, SHAW, SMITH, TAYLOR, WALKER, WATSON, WRIGHT


Some of the married females' maiden names appear on their tombstones.  On the 
list below, the married name is in parenthesis and precedes the given and 
maiden name.  Example:  EMMA ADAMS' name is preceded by (JACKSON).  Also, 
surnames in parentheses precede the names of infants and youths whose markers 
reveal only given names.  Ex.: WILLIE G.'s name is preceded by (HALL).
