Brewersville Cemetery

I visited this cemetery back in the early 1980’s when I was trying to locate the graves of CSA soldiers in back roads of west Alabama. I would naturally record the standard CSA markers and those tombstones that identified the man as a Confederate soldier. I would also record the name and vitals of the men born between 1810 and 1848. I would then search for these men in company rosters, regimental accounts, and other sources.

I have chosen to preserve the original formatting that I used in the 1980’s. Unfortunately, I did not record complete dates of birth and death, so the vital information is somewhat lacking. In the case of unit designations determined by research I have included footnotes of the sources.

The cemetery locations are as I originally described them. I will also use coordinates from the GNIS database when I feel comfortable that it applies. I do not have pictures as this was also the pre-digital age.
