RED BRUSH CEMETERY, JACKSON CO., WV Grant District This file is part of the WV Tombstone Transcription Project http://www.usgwtombstones.org/westvirg/westvirg.html ******************************************************** http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/wv/wvfiles.htm ******************************************************** Contributed to the USGenWeb Archives by: George W. Archer (garcher@wdn.com) Location: Leave Interstate 77 at Medina exit. Go south on county road #1, 1.7 miles from Medina, turn right and cross Nesselroad Creek over bridge. At the first fork, bear right and follow road .3 miles. At the next fork, bear left on county road #10 which follows Red Brush Road on left of road, the cemetery is .7 miles from second fork, on the right. The cemetery tombstones are visible in clearing from the road. The road becomes progressively worse after passing the cemetery. The road from Left Fork is almost impassable after a heavy rain without a 4-wheel vehicle. Located on Red Brush Run two or three miles from Nesselroad Run on the old Starr farm. Red Brush where the cemetery is located was called Isaac Run on land owned by Joseph Asbury HAYWARD (1778-1835) who married Nancy Ann HAYWARD, and both are buried in Red Brush Cemetery. (7) There was never a church associated with the cemetery, but there was the Red Brush School not far away. (7) Condition: Not maintained; not affiliated with any church; heavy brush; many fallen stones. A large brush pile (1977) may cover other stones. Stones are most accessible in winter and spring when vegitation is minimal. [NOTE: The format of this cemetery differs from the other cemeteries because I concentrated on this cemetery as the probable location for my grandfather and thus was interested in any readings done by anyone at any time. The listing is in alphabetical order, not plot order, consistent with readings from other sources. Information from other sources is listed after the reading I made as "added info:] Ancestral data, e.g. (Joseph, JamesI, Patrick) [meaning: father, grandfather, etc] came from my files and research (1) Henry ARCHER (Joseph, JamesI, Patrick) born 22 July 1824 Monroe Co, OH died 27 December 1905 (4) (added info: No stone.
