About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Breastwork Baptist Church was constituted in 1828. The church was a Missionary Baptist Church, member of the Alabama Baptist Association from 1828-1838. From 1838-1862 the church was a Primitive Baptist Church, member of the Ebenezer Baptist Association.

Breastwork Baptist Church was represented at Alabama and Ebenezer Baptist Association meetings by Burwell Rodgers, Daniel Green, R.G. Traweek, H. Powell, Gilbert Chancellor, Vincent Watts, Jeremiah Watts, Comer B. Watts, N. Bransford, E. Knight, Jacob C. Ferguson, J. Grantham, W. Talley, J.S. Colson, Parr Hutchinson, Wiley Grimes, John Carter, W.A. Thompson, W.B. Gray, Oliver Carter, N.R. Lewis, T.M.G. Traweek, J.W. Evans and J.B. Miller. Membership was 43 in 1829 and 70 members were reported in 1844. By 1861 the membership was 42 and Breastwork Baptist Church was excluded from the Ebenezer Baptist Association.

The cemetery, west of the church, once held many tombstones but loggers destroyed most of them in the early 1900s.
