"[Henry] Scarborough Cemetery" is located one mile south-east of Manville on the Manville-St. Charles Road. Going east from Columbia on I-20, take the Bishopville exit (#116). Go south on Highway #15 to Manville approximately 3.6 miles. At the little crossroads of Manville, the first road you will come to is the Manville-Wisacky Road. Go past it only about another 40 yards and turn left onto the Manville-St. Charles Road. Go one mile. A small sign points to the cemetery which is in a field on the left. For more information on this cemetery, and a close-up of several tombstones/markers, click here: Henry Scarborough Cemetery.

Henry Scarborough and wife Frances Stuckey are buried in what became a family cemetery which was behind his house that faced the Manville - St. Charles Road. The plot holds just over 40 graves and other names (Bateman for one) can be found. Several of Henry & Frances' children and at least one grandchild are buried there also. Not yet located, but apparently in close proximity is the grave of Major Addison Scarborough who died on this same farm and was buried near his house which faced the Manville - Wisacky Road.

The cemetery is located in the middle of a large field and can barely be seen from the road. It is about two-tenths of a mile from the road. A chain-link fence surrounds it.

It is not known at this time who owns or farms the property and whether or not it is accessible year around.

This site is north of Shaw Air Force Base and northwest of Sumter, SC.

Family members buried here are: Mary P. Burgess and Paul W. Burgess, and Robert Dalton Ross and Katie Boykin Ross. Photos of markers/tombstones are shown at Horeb Cemetery.

This location is approximately 25 miles east of Columbia on the Sumter Highway and one mile west of Highway #601.

From Columbia, go east on Interstate 20 past Bishopville. Take Exit 123 and go south on State Road #22 about 1.2 miles (Lee State Park Road towards Lamar and away from Lee State Park).
