Map & location of Brogdon Cemetery

Brogdon Cemetery is located several miles northwest of Pottsboro.  It was originally owned by the Brogdon family in the mid-1800s.  William H. Brogdon, who was born in 1804 in North Carolina, was one of the original Peters colonists who came to Texas from Madison County, Tennessee, with his wife, Nancy J. Sturdivant Brogdon and several children in 1839.  He purchased several parcels of land in Grayson County in 1853 that became the Brogdon homeplace and Brogdon Cemetery.  William died in 1856 and was buried in Brogdon Cemetery.  Nancy Brogdon was also buried there when she died in 1886.  (Donna Hunt. "Cemeteries Provide Interesting Stories." Herald-Democrat, Wednesday, May 23, 2018, pg.A6.  viewed May 25, 2018)
On the site of the old home place is the Brogdon Cemetery where family members and others were buried in the mid- to late-1800s.  "....the place was sold to a farmer by the name of Davis and this graveyard now was fenced and after he moved there, he tore the fence down, so that his cattle could eat the grass and stay in the shade.  I understand that he went out to the cemetery to get some of the headrocks to make the corner posts for a room to the house he was adding to the house.  And Emmet come down here and I took him out there and it was pitiful to look at .. it had practically been abandoned, no interest taken in it, and nobody being buried there any more."  
Just west of the Brogdon Cemetery is an area where it is believed U.S. soldiers were buried.
