It's difficult for me to make phone calls during business hours & I live 1000+ miles removed from SC so I'm hoping someone in Aiken can check w/the office in Bethany Cemetery on a couple of burials for me the next time they happen to be there or in local records if they happen to be doing some research anyway.

I've looked in the Ancestry database, "Aiken County, South Carolina Cemetery Inscriptions" and not found these burials. I only found Martha Humphry-Allen nee Parker but I already knew she was in Bethany Cemetery as she has a memorial w/headstone photo on Find A Grave (Memorial# 86136552)

Either the 3 burials I'm seeking don't have headstones for inscriptions to have been recorded from or the database isn't totally complete.

I know the database is not totally accurate as the entry for Martha has her buried surname as "Humphreys" and her maiden name as "Allen." Nowhere on her headstone does her first married surname of "Humphry" or incorrectly, "Humphreys" appear. She was buried as "Martha A. Allen"

Burials I'm seeking:

I'm looking for a burial & cemetery location for Charles HUMPHRY who died around April - June 1874 in Montmorenci. Probate was requested on 22 Jun 1874 in Manhattan, NY for his will which was filed in NYC. He'd previously resided in Manhattan before moving to Montmorenci.

Charles was the 1st husband of Martha Ann nee PARKER of Montmorenci.

The Humphry name is sometimes mis-spelled as "Humphrey", "Humpfrey" and "Humphrys or Humphreys".

The second burial might be a bit harder depending on how the cemetery kept it's records. I've no access to death records or city/town directories for the area other than what is found on line so I can't really narrow this one down all that much.

The second burial I'm looking for is that of Jonas PARKER, Martha's father. He was alive & living w/his daughter Martha's family in Montmorenci on the 1880 census but he's gone by the 1900 census. He might have died in 1886.

The book, "Parker in America" mentions 1886 as the year Jonas' widowed daughter Martha nee PARKER - widow of Charles HUMPHRY (above), remarried.

Martha was already remarried by the 1880 census to George Robert ALLEN & remained his wife through to her death so that is why I'm considering that the year of 1886 from the Parker book could be the year for Jonas' death.

The third burial I'm seeking would be that of Martha nee PARKER's 2nd husband, George Robert ALLEN.

The book "The Allen Family & Their Connections" on pg 42 says George is married & living in Montmorenci, SC so I place George's death as happening between 1891 - 1900 inclusive. He isn't on the 1900 census anywhere so must have died before the enumerations for Montmorenci were done.

I hope someone heading out to the Bethany Cemetery or a site that has death records for this period will be able to help with finding one or all of these burials.

Thanks.
