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 County Road #1011, where the road curves south toward Highway #816. The name on one tombstone is not readable and the only portion of the date readable is:  ___-26-___ / 9-5-1878 . In addition to those listed below, others may be buried here also.  The compiler has not researched this cemetery.

 

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)
