Rev. Bryant Boroughs Cemetery

Bryant Boroughs grave is located in Anderson County, South Carolina in the wooded lot behind Ebenezer Baptist Church, 5519 Old Pearman Dairy Road, Anderson, SC 29625. Their are a number of Tomb stones including CSA marked stones. My 4th Great-grandfather's headstone is lying on the ground next to where it broke off its footing. I was told where it is located by a man who lived on Dunnhill Drive as a child, which backs up to the wooded lot on the other side. Dunnhill Drive, loops up from Dunn Road. On Father's Day, 2011, he was visiting his dad, and walked into the woods to see if he could still find the old cemetery. He did! Thru Ancestry.com, he contacted me with the pictures. Dixon Road boxes in the wooded lot on the far side.In memory of Elder Bryan Boroughs Born Nov 24th 1797 Died Oct 17th 1870Whose Labors of love in Gods ministry near 70 years will long be cherished and gratefully remembered by many.His father James Burriss was a founder of Anderson Baptist Church.
