In an old history of Dinwiddie County, Virginia, published in conjunction with WPA research, "Cedar Lane" is described as being located about a half mile south of the Five Forks Civil War battlefield. According to an 1872 newspaper obituary, Judge James Boisseau died while attending a meeting in Petersburg, Virginia. His body was moved from Jarratt's Hotel to Saint Paul's Church and was hence transported to "Cedar Lane" his estate in Dinwiddie County, for burial. The route of the procession to "Cedar Lane" from Petersburg, was described as traveling west of the city by train to Church Road and then a journey of 3 to 4 miles south to Five Forks and three quarters of a mile south from there to "Cedar Lane". In April 1961, on the 100th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, an article appeared in The Progress-Index, Petersburg, Virginia, newspaper, which included information about "Cedar Lane" as follows: " The site of 'CEDAR LANE' was visited recently and the large cemetery of this Boisseau family branch can be seen. Sterling Boisseau had a large wall built around his parents and other close relatives that still stands. Others of the family were not enclosed it was thought, or the other graves could have been soldiers of both sides who were killed in the Battle of Five Forks. Four large and beautiful cedar trees still stand in the cemetery and probably it was because of these that the name 'Cedar Lane' was derived. The cemetery is difficult to locate and is more or less abandoned." We have not been able to find this cemetery, but we will continue to search and plan to ask local residents if they could assist in finding this historical gravesite which is no doubt now surrounded by woods and other debris. We will also travel to the Dinwiddie Courthouse to see if the records there might help us find this Boisseau family cemetery.
