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.

Riley Milam purchased from John Roberson 150 acres on Long Lick Creek (today Long Lick Branch), a branch of Raburn (today Rabon) Creek; purchased November 22, 1813, recorded December 6, 1813. His land bordered John Sims who was the father of Rachael Sims, wife of Riley Milam. It is highly probable that Rachael and Riley inherited much of this bordering land.

Riley Milam continued to live there throughout his life. The estate included the half acre Milam Family Cemetery as designated in his will of 1853 where he desired to be buried beside his wife who predeceased him.

Any markers that may have existed has been lost to time. A beautiful stone wall used to encircle the cemetery (see photo). Up through the 1980s the cemetery still existed on Milam Heights Road. In the very early 1990s, the heavily forested land was cleared, and subsequently the stone wall was removed. An effort was said to have been made to preserve the cemetery with a marker and a fence.

Directions: Take SC-221 north from Waterloo to Milam Heights Road where you turn left and head west about one mile. It should be on the left side of the road.
