Westbrook Cemetery
Hunt County, Texas
Transcribed for John W. "Dub" Duncan by Debbie Evans
Westbrook
Cemetery is located in Hunt County approximately 1 mile west of Wolfe City,
Texas, in a pasture. In 1986, per Bob Hames, the land was owned by Vesta Adams
and was, at one time, the Barney McGill Westbrook farm. It is north of
The Barney Blackburn
Westbrook family left Mississippi right after the Civil War, in 1867,
and came to Texas. Most of them settled in Hunt County, near Wolfe
City. A few moved on fairly soon to Mason County in west Texas. Some
of the Westbrook clan are buried in a Westbrook Family Cemetery on land
previously owned by Westbrooks in Hunt County near Wolfe City. Although
this land is no longer in the Westbrook family, the current
owners are apparently quite generous in allowing Westbrook family
descendants access to it (Ganey Westbrook Bradfield)
