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.

Richard Ward established his plantation, Sheffield, in 1665 and five subsequent generations of his family resided there. Seth Ward V sold the property to his aunt and her husband, Mary (Ward) Gregory and Richard Claiborne Gregory in 1797. Their son, Richard Augustus Gregory, built a manor house in 1804 on the Sheffield plantation, which is the site of the present-day Defense Supply Center, Richmond. When the United States Army purchased the property in 1941 from the last private landowner, James Bellwood, the manor house (Bellwood) was turned into an officers' club. The Bellwood Club is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Members of the Ward family were buried in a private cemetery on the property of the Sheffield estate. It has been defunct for many years.
