Bradley's Creek Baptist Church Cemetery - Take Lascassas Pike (Hwy 96E) about
14 miles from Murfreesboro. Turn left on Bradley's Creek Road. Cemetery on right of Bradley's Creek
Road in front of Church. Jan 30, 1837, John Green Murphey deeded two acres to the Church for the meeting house and reserved
¼ for the graveyard of the said John G. Murphey. In 1851, James Jordan sold to the Church 1 acre for $5.00 and
gave 20 poles. The existing graveyard of John Green Murphey was included in the Church graveyard. Oral history
tells us that the area by the road that runs parallel to the fence are slave graves. The slaves attended this Church
until they were able to support their own Church which is about 1/4 mile up the road today, 2008.
