I am trying to verify who is buried there. Did you know that there are makers buried near each white cross in the older Pelzer Cemetery? we plan to unearth them and replace them on the graves. At that time we will attempt to read and record the information. Also that is the Wilson Family Cemetery and not the Pelzer Family Cemetery. The Wilson's owned the property from 1770s until the late 1840s.. they had 500 acres on the Saluda and ran a ferry and grist mill. We know several Wilson's are buried there according to family records and know that John Wilson Jr. is buried there. o----------o From: Elaine Hunt 10-May-2013 The Wilson family Cemetery and holds John Wilson, Jr.'s grave as well as possible other family members and some Pelzer Residents buried between 1880 and 1895sh. John Wilson died in 1828 and he served in the US House (3 terms) and well as the SC house (2Terms)... The cemetery may hold his father John Wilson Sr and his mother but no records exist to prove this. We know 2 of his family members are buried there. We found his GGG grandsons who put a memorial there last fall.
