We have done our best to record the names and dates of the individuals that are buried in this cemetery as they appeared on their markers but mistakes can be made. We have also left out the names and dates of the individuals that appear to be still living, out of respect for these families.

Bryant Cemetery is located South of Dunlap, Sequatchie Co., TN. Take West Valley Rd., about 4 miles to Daus Community, turn right onto Braynt Cemetery Road, Bryant Cemetery is located 350 feet on the left. There are 47 “Unknown” markers that have just weathered away the name and dates or are rocks marking the graves. We also counted 23 places that appeared to be graves without any markers, just low spots in the ground. Bryant Cemetery is about 2 acres in size and is still in use.

Family Additions
John Wesley Norris born 03/18/1871 died 06/18/1935 and his wife, Eliza Gillen Mathes Norris born 10/15/1867 died 1936, information prvided From Great Grandson James Davis email jldndavis@gmail.com no markers were found. I believe they lived west of Bryant Cemetery at foot of mountain called the Norris Place
For Bryant Cemetery, I noticed that the stones for James Peters and wife Jennie Peters did not have dates. What I have is:
James Peters born August 18,1870 died 1902
Martha Jane "Jennie" Cartwright Peters born November 14, 1876 died August 22, 1901
Their only child was the David Green Peters you have listed.
