About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Bennettsville Cemetery is located in a wooded area approximately 1,000 feet southwest from the intersection of Dundee-Himrod Road (Schuyler County Route 5) & Shannon Corners Road.

Deaths range from 1813 to 1869.

Bennettsville, or Bennett's Settlement, centered around the tavern at the intersection of what is now the Dundee-Himrod Road and Shannons Corners Road, was one of the earliest settlements in what is now Starkey. It ante-dated Dundee, but rapidly declined when that larger crossroads community began to grow.
This small neighborhood burying ground is all that remains of the settlement. It is located in the woods behind the houses near the corner, invisible from the road, neglected and abandoned. There is some evidence that dumping of trash and fill has obliterated the front part of the cemetery. The town has been petitioned about maintaining the plot but at this writing no steps have been taken in this direction.
