Bill, yes Carley Lee and his wife Margaret are buried at Shiloh, I have seen their head stones. They do not have anything on the list for Ebenezer or Elsie but at one time their graves were marked. Willis Thompsons wife visited there appx. 20 yrs ago and came back home telling the family that cars, hearses etc. were driving over their graves. They started driving behind the cemetery to get to another section they opened for more graves. They could not go further back because of a deep ravine. Willis grand daughter has contacted the church and asked for assistance in locating these two graves. If they don't she plans to contact the people who are in charge of cemetery regulations. The family is certain the graves are there. At one time there were head stones and they believe they are crushed down under the dirt road. I just corresponded with her and she is expecting a new grandchild, so I haven't heard back on some of the other things we are questioning. Interesting that Andrew Polk and Louisa (Elsies parents) and Michael and his wife and three infants are also buried at Shiloh. You and I have pretty much the same info, death certificates etc. I always source my material and I thank you for the Information on Andrew and Louisa. I was not aware of this info and neither was the Thompson family.
My husband and I are going to the Rock Hill Library today so I will check on the land deeds, but I believe these will have to be sourced at the Courthouse in York, S. C. They are set up much better than in the past with most info in the computers. I will be glad to help you with any research I can handle. I know that I don't have the experience you have based on your many posts. I started out with information gleaned from my Mom and Dad and older family members, then got on Ancestry.com. census records and death certificates etc. I will be hearing from my cousin soon. Good luck and Thanks I will be in touch soon. Vivian
