Cemetery

 Briery Branch Church of the Brethren Cemetery - Page 1

Location

Briery Branch, Rockingham County, Virginia. Take Route 42 South (John Wayland Highway) and in Dayton turn right onto Route 257 (Ottobine Road) which changes name at the Ottobine crossroads (turn south) to Briery Branch Road. Drive 8.8 miles and church/cemetery is on the right side of the road, at the junction of Route 257 and 731 (Daniel Cupp Road).
 

Notes

The cemetery was recorded starting with the first row to the east and last row to the west. Rows were recorded from left to right (south to north). In 1967 J. Robert Swank noted "Indications are that there are more graves without named markers than those with named markers." The notes in the "Remarks" column were made by Mr. Swank and/or taken from church records.
