The Brandywine Cemetery was founded in 1874 In Brandywine Town, near Fairland, Indiana. It is a lovely cemetery and most of the persons buried there are related directly or indirectly to the Harrell family. The first Harrell settler to the area was the Rev. Byrum Harrell and his first wife, Sally Oldham Pertle. They are buried there, as well as his second wife, Sally Hubble or Hubbell.

The original land was owned by members of the Harrell family, as demonstrated by this document:
