In my quest to find heretofore undiscovered headstones carved by William Edmondson, I also spent a great deal of time in Briarville. Like Lake Providence, Briarville was a Black village in rural Davidson County that is now mostly forgotten. With the exception of Briarville Road and the two cemeteries, I havenât found anything in the area that distinguishes the area from larger Madison anymore.
