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.

As opposed to the excellent directions posted on Rootsweb in the year 2000 this cemetery is no longer accessible via Terry Creek Road. That approach has been blocked by a security gate erected by The Cliffs golf course. The cemetery now lies totally within the property of The Cliffs golf course. The cemetery continues is surrounded by a split rail/mountain rail fence and remains in fairly good condition. For permission to visit the cemetery one must go to the main golf course entrance which lies on U.S. 25 North about five miles north of Travelers Rest, South Carolina. By studying Deed records it becomes clear the land/plantation of John Hightower who died 1798 in Greenville County, S.C. and his wife Sarah who died 1816 Greenville County, S.C. covered the vast majority of what is now The Cliffs golf course. Beaver Dam creek runs near this golf course not far from the cemetery. Terry Creek runs through the golf course. There are many upright rough natural stone markers throughout this cemetery. It is my opinion as many as fifteen to twenty people may have been buried here. Identifiable graves have now been posted.
