The following information regarding this cemetery was taken from the Stafford County WPA Report. Andrew Briggs (originally spelled Brigges) immigrated to Stafford County from Scotland. He bought a farm here which he called "Scotland," after his native homeland. He married a Curtis from Stafford. He left "Scotland" to John W. Briggs, his son. The Curtis Memorial Park is located in this area. There is additional information in the Stafford County WPA Report.
