Brandy Camp in Elk County, Pennsylvania, was settled in 1818 by Isaac and Lucy Horton, and in 1822 Rev. Dr. Jonathan Nichols, Jr., a Harvard graduate and the first physician and preacher in the Little Toby Valley, bought 200 acres south of the Hortons and moved his family there. After his father died in 1837 and was buried in a corner of the farm, that small plot became a burial ground for family and friends and came to be known as Pioneer Cemetery. The cemetery is closely tied to the early settlement of the valley through the Nichols, Brockway, and Clarke families: Jonathan Nichols, Jr. officiated the 1816 marriage of his daughter Rhoda Nichols and Chauncey Brockway, Sr.; the couple and their infant daughter Louisa moved from Broadalbin, New York, to Caledonia, Pennsylvania, in 1817 and then to Brandy Camp in 1821, becoming the first Brockways in the area. Two graves there belong to Revolutionary War veteran Consider Brockway and his wife Keziah Ferry, parents of Chauncey, James, and Alonzo Brockway, while two others are those of Jonathan Nichols, Sr., also a veteran of the American Revolution, and his wife Rhoda or Rhoba Martin Nichols. Jonathan Nichols, Jr. also influenced Asaph M. Clarke to enter medicine, officiated Clarke's 1831 marriage to his daughter Rebecca Nichols, and Clarke later bought extensive property near James and Alonzo Brockway in 1836 and laid out Brockwayville, earning recognition as the father of Brockway. The cemetery's listed burials include Catherine Edwards Bennett, James Warren Bennett, Sr., Consider Brockway, Keziah Ferry Brockway, Jonathan Nichols, Sr., Rhoda or Rhoba Martin Nichols, Catherina Maria Confer Nulf, George W. Nulf, Sr., and John Nulf, and additional burial areas behind four marked graves include depressions and a possible child grave that may be Jonathan Nichols Brockway, born in 1825 and dead 14 days later.
