BRIGANCE CEMETERY
Brooksie Road and Concord Road
Decaturville TN

Brigance Cemetery is located south of Decaturville at the intersection of Brooksie Road and Concord Road. The cemetery is labeled "Briggins Cem." on the U.S.G.S. Scotts Hill quadrangle (1986). The cemetery is probably very old for the area. At some time in the past someone replaced fieldstones and marked unmarked graves with 61 plain concrete blocks. Their effort was not totally successful as one recent burial and double marker intrudes into two of the earlier burials marked by concrete blocks.
David Donahue recorded Brigance Cemetery October 15, 1990; updated it November 14, 1996; and checked and updated it December 12, 2003. Margaret Alexander and Blanche Tuten recorded Brigance Cemetery on July 14, 1976. Their record appears in Decatur County, Tennessee Cemetery Records published by the Captain Nathaniel A. Wesson Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy, Parsons, Tennessee, 1984, pp. 80-83. Reference is made to this work where appropriate. They reported 56 "unmarked" graves.
