IMMANUEL CHURCH

Immanuel was an Episcopal church.  It stood near the home of
Herbert Lyle Walker, Edgemoor area of Chester Co, SC.
[northeastern Chester Co which is near the York CO line]
The church lot consisted of ten acres.
All that remains to tell the story is the little cemetery with a few
markers.

Benjamin Johnson and his family came from Charleston to live in this
part of the country.  He was the grandfather of the late R. B.
Johnson.... [mid 1930's when this was written].
The Johnson family were active members of this church, and
were buried in this little cemetery.

The monuments still standing today [1930-35] have these inscriptions:

Benjamin B. Johnson ­ Born June 2, 1788   Died May 20, 1845

None of the above mentioned are any of my ancestors....
I found this information and wanted to share 
hoping someone can connect with these buried at

on the above, would be interested in hearing from you.
