Originally, buried in the Barclay Cemetery in Scottsboro. The following excerpt is from the book, History of Union Cemetery, by Joann Thomas Elkin:
"When Joseph and Mary died, they were residents of Jackson Co., AL and were buried in what was known as Barclay Cemetery, near Scottsboro. On 12 Jan 1990, a Barclay family memorial monument was erected by the City of Scottsboro, AL in Cedar Hill Cemetery. The monument reads: "IN MEMORY OF JOSEPH BARCLAY AND WIFE MARY LEDBETTER BARCLAY JOSEPH P. BARCLAY 1811 - 1872 AND WIFE MARTHA HOGUE BARCLAY AND ALL OTHERS WHO WERE BURIED IN BARCLAY CEMTERY REINTERRED JANUARY 12,1990"
The monument and reinterrment were made possible through the efforts of a Barclay descendant, David Boyd Anderson, who resides in Scottsboro, and the City of Scottsboro. The city's purchase of land for an industrial park included the location of the Barclay Cemetery; both the Barclay descendants and the City of Scottsboro desired to preserve the memory of those who had been buried there."
