This is a long abandoned slave Cemetery. It is located right at the line between Davidson and Williamson Counties, about 50 yards east of Hillsboro Pk. It is beside a drive, and on private property whose resident is sensitive about visitors. The slaves buried here were owned by William Scruggs, whose widow married David Bright, hence the last name of the only known burial in the Cemetery. Years ago, there were 12-15 fieldstones marking graves, but they have either been grown over or used for a fence or something.
