Paul Thank you for the note. In the future I will contact you directly but I thought that I would throw this message back out into the general population. Like you I am working on finding the graves of South Carolina Confederates. While I am primarily interested in the graves in Spartanburg and Union counties I am also trying to locate the graves of all Spartanburg Confederate Veterans. That is why I was asking about Adams Run. A couple of years ago my wife and I went to Charleston for the weekend. I talked her into visiting Adams run with me in a search for information on potential grave sites. We stopped and talked with several people including the postmaster, the Baptist preacher and a few civilians. The only thing that I gleened was that there is an old plantation house on the left of the road going south that is reported to have a grave yard between the house and the road. One suggestion was that it thought to be a slave cemetry but no one knew for sure. My opinion is that the front of a house would be an interesting place to bury slaves. However, since the railroad was on the right side of the road it would not be a bad place to put a camp site or camp hospital.

I have thought for several years that there had to be a cemetery or two down there. There are way to many Adams Run deaths with no known or listed burial site for there not to be. Come fall and you might talk me into coming down and exploring with you.
