Read More	Bridgers Rd Rt 1502 & Collier Rd Rt 1515 - Almost in a direct line west from the Peele-Bridgers Cemetery on Collier Rd Rt 1515 is the Sherrod Family Cemetery. This cemetery is on land inherited by the children of Lewis Clemmon Bridgers, with a life right to their father, Lewis, from his father, Franklin Windfield Bridgers. This cemetery is on the land that James Sherrod's daughter Elizabeth, received in the division of his land and eventually became the property of Elizabeth's grandson, Franklin Windfield Bridgers. This cemetery location is shown on the right of the plat of M E Bridgers' land and just above the name L C Bridgers. (There is a graveyard on the left of the plat just above the name J J Draper. That is where Burgess Albert Draper is buried.) M E Bridgers was Millard Eugene Bridgers, brother of Lewis Clemmon Bridgers, and my maternal grandfather. It is unknown if there were ever any markers for those buried here. When I was young, this area was a spooky place for me. There were mounds (or at least my young, imaginative mind thought so, especially when one of my cousins would tell me to "watch out - one of the ghosts is coming out to get you"!!! There was no indication of any grave markers, only wild plum trees, vines and an old persimmon tree growing on the edge. This cemetery was one of the boundry lines of my maternal grandfather's farm. The cemetery area was never farmed and until about 2000 was just a large area of small trees when it was cleared and planted with a grass covercrop. My mother and her siblings as well as their children called this location the "Indian Graveyard" and it wasn't until the late 1960's when we were talking about the Indian Graveyard that my maternal grandmother asked where that was. When told what piece of land we thought was the Indian Graveyard, she replied that "It is not an Indian Graveyard, its the "Sharon" Graveyard. They are your ancestors!" After I began researching my family lines and came across the sir name Sherrod and then located James' will and the division of his land, I realized my maternal grandfather's farm was the same land that had once been owned by James Sherrod. In the description of the land on which my maternal grandfather was willed a life right from his father Franklin Windfield Bridgers, it was designated as the "Old Homestead"; the land of his great-great grandfather James Sherrod. Grandma mispronounced the Sherrod name as "Sharon". Speculation as to those probably buried in this location are included in the memorials attached to this cemetery. Dot Harcum
