Hughes Family Cemetery is located approximately 2.5 miles south of Neeses, SC, on the west side of US Hwy 321, in a wooded area next to the railroad at the SW corner of a narrow hay field owned by Mr. Tony Fogle.

It is advised that one obtain permission from the property owner, before visiting this cemetery. I was able to locate this cemetery with the help of Mr. Lindy Hughes, who was born and raised in the area.

I walked and read all existing and legible headstones on Jul 15, 1993. This is a complete list of all known burials. There is at least one unmarked burial site.
