This is part of the South Carolina Historical Marker series.
To get credit for the find, take a picture of yourself at the marker and post it. Marker Text: "HARTLEY HOUSE" This house was built before 1800 for John Pearson Bond, according to local tradition. It later came into possession of John Bates of the family from whom Batesburg derives its name, and has been owned for over a century by Lodwick Hartley and his family. It was the first meeting place of the Batesville Masonic lodge and was a stagecoach mail stop. Erected by Lexington County Historical Society - 1970 ---------- Note: The cemetery for John Bates & his family is across the street but in total disrepair. I took photos of the gravesite. Rootsweb has more detailed information about the gravesite. |
