From Decaturville, take highway 69, turn right on the Brooksie Thompson Road and then turn right on Blunt Road. Morgan Cemetery is located in the woods on the left side of Blunt Road about 100 yards from Brooksie Thompson Road. The cemetery is no longer used and is grown up in the woods. The cemetery appears to be about an acre in size with several cedar trees and a large area covered with Vinca noted. There are only two markers standing but several fieldstone markers were noted.

This land was settled by Isaac Brashears. On July 14, 1825, Isaac Brashears received Tennessee Land Grant #23950 - 82 acres, including the land on which this cemetery sits. He recorded the grant in Murfreesboro on September 9, 1825, the same day his youngest son Zadock recorded a land grant in the same district and section. But he was already there a little bit earlier. On March 4, 1823, he is referred to as "Isaac Brashears of Perry County" when he was selling the remainder of his Roane County land (100 acres) to his grandson-in-law, Jesse Galloway. Isaac Brashears settled in this area now encompassed by Decatur Co. no later than 1823, possibly a year or two earlier.

According to his son Samuel's family Bible, Isaac Brashears died July 25, 1833, and is believed to have been buried here, on his land. His son Absalom inherited the land and occupied/farmed it until his death, upon which his widow, Ellender, sold the property to William Morgan. The Morgans kept the land in the family for almost a century. In 1968, the land was owned by a Lathan Blount. In 2014, this land is owned by Terry Lee Sparks. This cemetery does not have a separate deed.

Unfortunately, the land is unkempt and recently cleared by a current adjacent landowner, possibly destroying more tombstones. Some grave markers are legible, some are missing, others are barely visible fieldstones. Several, perhaps dozens from this early pioneer family are buried here. But there is no doubt this is the land and family graveyard of Isaac Brashears.

his dilapidated structure that sits on the old Brashears land is NOT the original Brashears homestead. The Edwards family bought the old homestead, demolished the old home and built a new home well after Isaac and his sons migrated elsewhere in Tennessee (Perry County). The Brashears-Kries Cemetery sits just behind this house.

Though this is not his original house or land, (Isaac had 100 acres adjacent to his father's land, according to an early 1800s land grant), this was his father Robert Samuel's land. A large amount of Isaac's family, including his father Robert Samuel Brashears and mother Phoebe Nicks, are buried in the Brashears-Kries Cemetery behind this dilapidated structure. Much of this land in the area belonged to Robert Samuel, including a land grant for Brashears Island in the Clinch River, which he cited was useful for his water mill. So we are certain the land right off Brashears Island in the Clinch River was part of the hold homestead.
