About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Brooks Cemetery is located on a rise in a loop of the Powell River opposite Hoop Creek and just to the East of where highway TN-38 crosses the river at Brooks Bridge. The cemetery is on land granted to George Washington Brooks (1815-1890) in Tennessee Grant #28835, signed by Governor MB Campbell, and dated 14 Sep 1853. The farm was inherited by his son George Washington Brooks Jr 1851-1906, and is still held within the family.

GW Brooks' grandfather, Bartlett Brooks, was born in Prince Edward County, VA in 1763, and in about 1821 moved with his grown children and their families to Claiborne County, TN where they settled along the Powell River. There are several Brooks Cemeteries nearby and over the hill in Lee County, VA.

Burials at this cemetery include: GW Brooks I, his wife Elizabeth Nevilles, his brother BB (Bartley), and many of their descendants. Two of the oldest graves are unmarked and reportedly belong to Native Americans that lived along the river.
