Restoring the Brashear Family Cemetery

This family cemetery is on a private farm off the end of T Hahn Road just east of New Salem Baptist Church on Deatsville Road in the Cox's Creek area. The graves were largely unmarked until the ground was explored and the volunteers found several buried headstones. Mary Brashear was the first wife of Alfred B. Brashear. When she died Alfred married Margaret Brashear and their off-spring of several generations still live in the Cox's Creek area.
