Joshua/Temperance Information!!!
I have been able to locate some interesting information on the Joshua and Temperance Brigman family of Walker GA.All of this came from cemetery records, articles, etc. (not just census data).Joshua and family seem to have moved to the area about 1836/1837.Joshua Brigman is listed on the 1840 census as Joshua Bridgman.
Here's a list of burials in Walker County from the first cemetery book.
Volume 1:
BRIGMAN, Alice; Alice L; Annie; Cicero S; Cynthia; Cynthia L; Ellen G;
Elizabeth; Fannie; H.M; Ida L; Infant dau; J.T; Lingy; Mary; Mary T;
W.M.
Volume 2:
JONES, Harriett Brigman
Harriett was the only one in V2. She is listed in the Jones Cemetery.
This
cemetery is located about 2 miles north of Rock Srpings.
JONES, Harriett Brigman
Wife of James Jones
24 July 1827 - 19 Aug 1911
There were 17 graves in this cemetery with 10 unmarked for a total of
approximately 27 if the unmarked are counted correctly.
There is also an article in the HISTORY OF WALKER COUNTY, 1833-1883 on
page
103. The article was written by J. Forrest Jones.
It said Joshua Brigman was born 1781, died 1844; married Temperance
Quick
(born 1791, died 1859).
Moved from Carolinas to Walker County.
Bought land about 9 miles north of LaFayette on what was the Stage
Coach
Line from Rome, GA to Ringgold, GA ca 1835/6.
The family cemetery is south of the home where family members and
slaves are
buried.
