Greetings, I am John Williams of Lexington, SC and William Hyder Sr. (d. 1790) was my Great, gr, gr, gr, gr, Grandfather. We will be in Carter County this weekend and I wanted to visit the Hyder Cemetary off Powder Branch Rd. However, I know that it is surrounded by private property. Who can I contact to get permission to get up to the cemetary? Thanks for your help. John Williams. PS Our son, Jonathan, a Presbyterian minister & Army Chaplain, is serving as an interim pastor to a small church in nearby Johnson City.
Greetings John, It is a little late, but I used to travel around and take photos of headstones upon request. I always tried to locate the owner of the property and ask them for permission to enter their property and the cemetery. I have never been turned down. They are aware that the graves are there and are very conscious of their obligations to allow access to them. It is the law in most states that the public have access to cemeteries on private land and not be denied entrance to them. I know you will be polite and of course that always is helpful. Merry Christmas to you and yours, thank Jonathan for his service…. Mike Mankin
Glad I found your blog. Thank you for listing primary sources on this blog. I look forward to further posts.
Regards, Keith.
