Cemetery History

This cemetery is situated on a plot of land on the farm that was once settled by Christopher Bryant 1st. As in older days, many were buried on home farms. In later years, the plot was enlarged to include some Browns and Bowens, who married into the Bryant family. For many years, the cemetery remained unknown and unkept, until a few members of the more current Bryant families decided to restore and maintain it.

When I visited the cemetery this summer, 2005, I found it nestled among a wooded area in an open field. It was surrounded by a rail fence, and the brush had been cleared so that I could easily walk through it. Most of the stones were broken and in bad condition, and they had been carefully placed on the ground and encased with wood.

Cemetery Records

Because I was not able to read these stones, I went to the local archives and obtained a copy of burials for this cemetery. I am submitting this listing, based on the information that I found in the files at the archives.
