An Update on the Location of Barclay Graves from Carolyn Tamblyn
In April 2018, the Jackson County Chronicles ran a summary of people buried in Cedar Hill Cemetery who were not buried there originally but were instead moved from another location. Carolyn Barclay Tamblyn challenged the notion that the graves of Joseph Pickens Barclay and Mary Ledbetter Barclay had been moved from the Barclay Cemetery to Cedar Hill. this comment:
I hope that Mr. Anderson, who was responsible for the placement of the Barclay marker in Cedar Hill Cemetery, did not mean to imply that Mary Ledbetter Barclay and Joseph Barclay had been buried at the excavated site but only wished to memorialize them. I do not believe there was a Barclay cemetery outside Scottsboro at the time they died. It seems to have begun in 1872 with the death of the youngest Barclay son, Joseph Pickens Barclay, and contained his wife Martha Adeline Wood Hogue and perhaps others of his family. Note that the marker has the incorrect date for the birth of J. P. Barclay. He was born September 11, 1830. It was his older brother, Joel Ledbetter Barclay, who was born in 1811.
Joseph Barclay was among the first settlers in Aspel, Jackson county, and he and his wife Mary are buried in Old Aspel at the foot of Gunter Mountain, according to J. R. Kennamer Sr. in "The Barclay Family: Gleanings of History and Geneaology," February 1927. Mary died in Aspel sometime between 1850 and 1860 (censuses); Joseph died several decades later, after 1870 when he was over 90 years old and living in Marshall county at the home of his oldest son, Joel Ledbetter Barclay, with whom he had lived after the death of Mary (1860, 1870 censuses). This location was but a few miles up the mountain from the cemetery at Old Aspel. According to Ann Chambless (letter, 1994), the old cemetery was behind the Smith's Chapel Church at the foot of Gunter Mountain and had been in use in the 1840s, although the church was not built until the 1870s. Mary and Joseph Barclay were buried in this old cemetery, resting among a number of unmarked graves.
