Floyd This cemetery is located almost exactly in the southeastern corner of Rutherford County, NC. To get to it you go south on US221A until you cross the Broad river bridge and then you turn at the forst left. Go about a mile and a half to the first right and turn out Prospect Ch. Rd. Go out Prospect Ch. Rd. to the last driveway on the right before going into SC. Mr. Bartee lives at the end of this driveway and the cemetery is a few hundred yards behind his house. The audit was done August 1, 1997 and there is only one readable marker. There is one more that is badly broken so it is assumed that it was the wife whom Mr. Bartee was sure that her name was Martha Davis. There are 25-50 other unmarked graves and marked with field stones. The readable one is: Davis, Phillip April 25, 1789 January 11, 1890 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCRUGGS CEMETERY OFF FERRY ROAD By W. D.
