Cedar Creek Cemetery, c. 1740

Hope Lane Road - Cedar Creek Cemetery is located at the end of Hope Lane Road, just north of Nixon's Crossroads, between Hwy. 90 and the north bound lane of Hwy. 17. This is the site of the Little River Methodist Church, one of the earliest documented churches in the area. Originally, there was a pre-Revolutionary War Meeting House at the cemetery's location. On January 1, 1740, a New Year's dancing party was broken at the meeting house by Rev. George Whitefield, a famous Methodist evangelist.

The forerunner of the Little River Methodist Church was the Cedar Creek Church which ceased to function about 1920. Buried in the cemetery are members of many prominent families of the area including Bryan, Bessent, Randall, Bellamy, Dunn, Gore, Ward, Willard, Lewis, Morse, Watson, Williams, Nixon, Permenter, and Peurefoy.
