CEMETERY LOCATION:

Latitude N  x Longitude W 


CEMETERY HISTORY:
------------------------

The property was originally owned by Virgil Robert, widower of Bobbie Bannister 
Roberts (Bannisters are connected to the DeJarnette family)

Virgil Roberts, 108 Rexton Dr., Anderson, SC  29621, 864-231-9813

This could be the father, since the son was living on the property the last time 
I as here and said he had bought it from his father.

I am told it is the original site of the First Creek Baptist Church; I am also 
told that my gggrandfather was pastor at one time but have been unable to 
confirm that (Harbert Tucker).

TUCKER, Frances (Fanny) DeJarnette, b. c1768, d. 9-feb-1805, a. 37y, 1st w. of 
rev. harbert tucker

The headstone for Frances DeJarnette Tucker, 1st wife of Harbert Tucker, Rev. 
Soldier says:
 
Here Lyeth the body of Fanny Tucker wife of Hebert Tucker who departed this life 
Feb. 9, anno domino 1805 Age 37
 
Footsone says:
 
and I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me, Blessed are the dead that died 
in the Lord henceforth saith the Spirit that they  may rest from their labours 
and their works do follow them
 
A few steps away, there is a stone for her nephew, son of her sister Nancy
and Edward Davis.  His inscription is in the same style, evidently by the same
person.
 
"Here lyth the body of Reuben DeJarnette Davis who departed this life 19 day of 
Dec. 1804 was born the 7 day of Sept. 1804 aged 3 months and 22 days"

Harbert Tucker's first wife (I am descended from the second wife) was Frances 
DeJarnette.  She is buried in this old cemetery where there are a few other
stones but seem to be lots of graves.  Frances died in 1804 (9-feb-1805?) and 
has a head stone and foot stone with beautiful square engraving on both.  

In 1999 at the genealogy library in Bartow, Fl., I found a book "Anderson Co., 
Cemeteries, Vol. 1" by R. Wayne Bratcher, page 48 listing Fanny Tucker, w/o
Herbert Tucker buried at private cemetery in Iva, S.C.
