About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Key Cemetery contains approximately 15 graves marked by fieldstones and linear depressions. Two natural slate stones have scratched inscriptions. "K 1775" and "E. Key Sept. 11 1831". Henry Key, Sr. is presumed buried in this cemetery on his land grant. A second cemetery is located approximately 150 feet north and contains approximately 40 graves marked by linear depressions and some fieldstones. This may be a slave cemetery.

Henry Key received land grants totaling 1900 acres here in 1772 and 1774. He died in August 1776 and had 10 children. An 1817 map shows Mrs. P. Key living near the cemetery. She (Phebe Talbert Key)was the widow of Henry Key, Jr.

From Highway SC-283 turn south on Key Road S-33-138/S-33-227 and drive approximately 2 miles. Take US Forest Service gravel road 618 to the right before you pass the old SC DNR work center. The cemetery is at the end of this road to the east. The cemetery is located on Sumter National Forest.
