Big Creek Cemetery
This cemetery has some History in this area. William Prude was born on October 15, 1774 and buried on January 8, 1833. He is the earliest marked burial in this cemetery. The earliest marked female is Nancy George. A lady by the name of Nancy Doughty had the earliest marked birth date of March 14, 1747. She is probably the earliest in the county. 24 persons with markers were buried before 1852. 253 persons were buried with markers and 47 unmarked graves as of March 16, 1995. The “Alabama Stone” was found at the mouth of Big Creek, 3 miles from this site in 1817, a 204 pound sandstone rock with carved inscription “HISPAN AT IND REX 1232” presently at Alabama Department of archives and History.
This Cemetery of Big Creek Baptist Church, the county’s 3rd oldest Baptist Church originated in 1820. First meeting house at this site adjacent to Bluff Branch School on land donated by James Hendricks in July 1861. “Tuscaloosa Plough Boys” (later “G” 38th Tenn. Regt), under command of James J. Mayfield (father of Alabama Supreme Court Justice James J. Mayfield), met, received uniforms, and entered service here. 10 civil war and 1 Spanish-American War veteran is buried here. Final resting place for many noble men and virtuous women of God. Dedication of markers in July 1995 commemorates 175th Anniversary of this allowed ground.
I enjoyed the History of this cemetery and I hop you do the same. Visit the gallery to see the picture of William Prude’s head stone. Please be respectful to those who rest in peace here and watch where you walk.
