New Liberty Cemetery

Submitted by Jackie Rhodes...Rest in Peace

* The information in this document was obtained from personal research notes, photographs, and a videotape made by my husband and myself in Nov. 1996. As far as I know, all the Dye family members buried in New Liberty Cemetery are descendants of Elisha Dye who was in Chester Co, SC in the late 1790s and early 1800s. I have made some notes with some of the inscriptions that I hope will aid other researchers into these families.
