This cemetery is located in the Pocahontas State Park. The family cemetery was located near the property line of the two families.

The Chesterfield County Historical Society's Cemetery Committee apparently did research on this cemetery in 2007 according to the Chesterfield Observer website, but I do not have their information. The Observer article notes that there could be as many as 46 graves in this cemetery. I do not know what source they have to indicate that number. We thoroughly looked for any type of stone we could find and discovered that the entire cemetery including stones from the early 1900's followed the convention of head and foot stones and the graves are all in neat rows. 15 Graves were easily readable and they recorded here. There are approximately 10 graves we documented which were rough stones (not cut to shape in any way) most of which had no visible writing left on them. The total of head and foot stones is about 46 but if there are actually 46 graves half of them must be entirely covered by the passage of time. One individual is recorded here, S. E. Gill who shows up on the report below, but the stone can no longer be located.

There is information on this cemetery gathered in 1936 and reported on US GenWeb. This research was done when it was still on the Dance farm (before it became a park) and the house was standing. It is strangely incomplete as there are many stones there in 2009 which would have been in existence when the data was recorded in 1936.

I have very high resolution photo's and video of each stone and the overall cemetery. They are too high resolution for uploading to this site but you can contact me directly if you would like them.
