Goodwyn Family Cemetery is located near the Dinwiddie County/Sussex County border. The closest town is Stony Creek, Virginia, which is located in Sussex County. The first burial in the cemetery was in 1887. The cemetery is located on private property that was once the estate of Dr. John Peterson Goodwyn, MD. He was buried there in 1895, and since then three more generations of Goodwyn and related family members have been buried alongside him for a period of 125 years. The land on which the cemetery is located is still in Goodwyn family ownership today. Dr. John Peterson Goodwyn was the grandson of Colonel Peterson Goodwyn through his son Albert Thweatt Goodwyn and his first wife Martha T. King. They are buried along with several generations of Goodwyn family at "Sweden" located near the intersection of White Oak and Claiborne Roads in Dinwiddie County, Virginia. "Sweden" can be found on Find A Grave under the name Sweden Goodwyn Cemetery.
