At least 13 unmarked graves. Cemetery is unkept but not too overgrown with brambles. Stones scattered but able to get around fairly easily.

Directions:
Go south on Rt. 19 to the Glen Jean Exit.
At the stop sign turn left and go North on Rt. 16/61 .4 mile.
Turn left and go 1.2 miles.
Turn left on WIngrove Hill Road.
Go .1 mile and turn right into a driveway.
A home sits back on a rise.
The cemetery is to the right of the house marked by a stand of tall pines.
We suggest you ask permission from the home owners as the cemetery is on his land.

"Not sure where these Blakes fit in but the Blakes, Poteets, and another family or two were the first settlers in the area and owned most of the property in this area by land grant.  This cemetery is on the hill just above where you took the picture of the Scarbro sign for the website."
