According to "Record of Cemeteries in Albemarle County, Virginia Including Charlottesville, Vol. XIII, pages 124-127" published by the Jack Jouett Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), 1978:

Brightberry Brown Family Cemetery located on Brown's Gap Turnpike (Route 629) in Brown's Cove. There are two cemeteries on the place. One is the Brown family, the other possibly a slave cemetery as there is only one tombstone. The other 14 graves are marked with a large rock.

There are 17 unmarked graves and one illegible in the Brown Family Cemetery.

NOTES: From Eileen Gillette 3/4/12 - I found notes from my aunt who was at this cemetery in 1977. It was in very poor shape then, overgrown, etc. This cemetery is located on Brightberry Brown's estate which is located on the eastern side of the Doyle River and as of my aunt's visit still existed. The graveyard is at the back of the Brightberry house near the barn. My aunt goes on to say the graveyard is about the size of a medium sized livingroom, surrounded by a low metal fence. She says besides Brown's being buried there that there are Parrotts, Banks and Hollbrook's, who were husband's and wives of Brown's. The dates ranged from 1762 to 1948.
