Additional information: 

His parents - Napoleon "Boney" & Victoria "Vicky" (HORNE) BRITT - are buried 
   in a BRITT family cemetery behind Tucker Swamp Church, off New Rd. 
   (Rt. 622).  [see Find a Grave Mem. #127123114 & #127123709] 

Percy's first wife, (Helen) Ruth (COUNCIL/COUNCILL) BRITT {d. 1919}, 
   may be buried there with his parents, or possibly with her father, 
   in a COUNCIL family cemetery, also on New Rd.

Percy appears in 1940 Census on New Rd. (Berlin-Ivor Dist.), renting; 
   his brother Walter G. BRITT, next door, owned the farm. 

That conforms with oral tradition, that the BRITT family cemetery is on the 
   farm owned by Walter's family. 

Walter is buried in Ivor Cemetery.
