The Jennings Family Cemetery is located on a portion of what was a very large plantation. After John's death his surviving daughter sold it, and in 1877 a descendant bought the family cemetery. In later years, another descendant owned the surrounding acreage and enclosed the old cemetery with a brick/block wall. Among the headstones are included the stones of John and his three wives.
From Cope it is a short drive out Main Street, which then turns into Fletcher Road. Fletcher turns into Snake Swamp Road at the 90 degree angle in the road. Turn right onto Teamwork Road (entrance to SCE&G Plant)and continue straight, over small bridge,bearing left at curve/intersection. Do NOT go over railroad tracks. The cemetery is at end of road (past Partnership Road) on left. It is enclosed with an old cinder block wall about 3ft high and that has been surrounded by a tall chain link fence with gate. It is slightly overgrown with briars at present, but is in the process of being cleared for easier access to graves (Sept. 2011). Cemetery clean-up accomplished in Nov. 2011. Plaque and signage to be added in near future.
Route from I-26, take Hwy.301/601 then right onto Snake Swamp Road. Left to Teamwork Road,then same as above. Current information states it is now on property owned by SCE&G.
