Greenville Presbyterian Church Cemetery

Abbeville County, South Carolina

McKee’s Listed in Cemetery

I am sure that there are other McKee relatives listed in the cemetery [such as the Bowie, Dickson and Nickles families], but without knowing everyone it is hard.

Some of the tombstones were very old and very hard to read and I could not make out all of the words, or only partial words

If you know how any of these fit into our families please let us know
