McHARG - HUBBS - BOLT CEMETERY

This cemetery was transcribed by Col. James Leland Bolt, his wife, Margaret "Peggy" Eltinge Bolt, and his cousin, Richard Simpson Bolt in 1950 and published in the book, "Family Burying Grounds Laurens County S.C."

This photo of the McHarg - Hubbs - Bolt Cemetery was taken in January 2004 by MW Bolt. The cemetery is located on private land, off of Sawmill Road. While there is some fencing around the cemetery, it has still suffered from years of neglect and from the roaming of livestock.

*Due to the cemetery's neglect, family members moved the William Hubbs marker to the John Bolt Esq. Cemetery.
