I had little trouble finding this one. There are actually two cemeteries very close to one another on Bradley Creek Road. The white church, Bradley's Creek Baptist Church has a very large cemetery that dates back to the 1820s. It is believed that there are slaves buried in this cemetery. African-Americans attended this church after the Civil War until they were able to build their own church up the road. Bradley Creek Missionary Church Cemetery is the African-African cemetery.
