Buried Treasures in
Old Princess Anne County, VA

These family cemeteries are located mostly in the southern part of old Princess Anne County, and have not been listed in any previous publications.  This is a farming area and no doubt there are many more cemeteries, but time has taken its toll and they are no longer visible.

Cemetery enumerations were by MaryAnn McCrary and Mary McCampbell Bell of Lynnhaven Parish Chapter NSDAR and are included courtesy of that organization.  The cemetery census was begun about 1978 and was completed 3 - 4 years later.
