Mark & Holly Murphy Cemetery
Cross Keys, Union County, South Carolina, USA
Location and Historical information:
From Descendant, Dale Murphy
"The Cemetery is on the left on Bombing Range Road, 1/2 Mile after you cross Isaac's Creek. It cannot be seen from the road and needs to be cleaned. It is, 15 X 15 square. I put a ribbon at the road for other Murphy's to find."
"Mark and Holly Murphy are buried on what was their Property, Mark had accumulated over 334 acres (PURCHASED FROM MACGARITY AND ALEXANDER) of land east of Sion Murphy's property. The Sion Murphy Cemetery is 200 yards on the left on Bombing Range Road. The Mark Murphy Cemetery is about 1 mile east on Bombing Range Road".
"The National Forest Service purchased and confiscated deserted lands in the 1920's to form Sumter National Forest. Mark and Holly's sons had all left by 1845. I don't know who owned the property after Gideon Shands in 1845".
"The Cemetery is enclosed by an Old Rock Wall. It has been known by family tradition as 'Mark and Holly Murphy Resting Place'".
"I have documented Mark And Holly Murphy's Cemetery. I found a Land Transfer from Mark Murphy's Sons Simon P. Murphy and Emanuel Masters Murphy. The Land Was Sold To Gideon Shands in 1845".
