The Old Dugan Cemetery is located 3 miles SW of Bloomfield on Hwy 62 on what was the Edmund Dugan Farm (aka the Dugan Homeplace). It was sold after G Grandpa Dugan died. Mom said that it has been subdivided and she is not even sure if the old homeplace is still there. She says she remembers when her g. grandfather still owned it and there was the family cemetery as well as a slave cemetery and an Indian burial ground. She said g grandpa kept the slave and Indian grounds marked off with hedgerows although there were not any markers. She said that the man that bought the property torn down those hedgerows, I am not sure if that would be the current owner.

The last time I remember visiting was when my grandfather (mom's dad) was still alive over a decade ago. We found the cemetery but the owner of the house had not kept it up and it was overgrown. I would like to go down and see if I could find it again and clean it up but it's too hot in the summer and too far to go when the kids are in school, not to mention we would probably have to stay over at least 2 days unless I can round up a crew to go down and help.
