Washington Wesson Family Cemetery

|
|
|
| Located on the west side of Brown's Creek Rd. (Route 623), directly behind the Taylor Family Cemetery. The thick wooded walk to the cemetery is approx. 0.5 to 0.75 mi. Only 2 inscribed stones stand, but at least 23 other graves are here as evidenced by fieldstones and uniform depressions. Although no path lead to it as of August 2008, the local Sons of Confederate Veterans and some descendants are working with the landowner to have an access path or road to this cemetery installed. |
