Cemetery Roster — African American Section
[About some of the people layed to rest]
Because the cemetery was segregated into an African-American and white sections when it was created, we have kept the rosters separated to make lookup easier.
Rosters of other Loudoun County cemeteries are available from the Loudoun Cemetery Database. We thank the Thomas Balch Library for assembling this data.
This section of the cemetery contains 208 graves: 77 have identifiable headstones, 81 have markers with no names, and 50 have no marker and were identified with ground penetrating radar. A list of Civil War veterans is available.
Locating a Headstone in the Cemetery
This roster includes a headstone's location indicated at the right of the name, e.g., ASH, CHARLES A8 shows that the headstone is in row A, the 8th headstone from the cemetery entrance's side. Row letters are posted on the fence.
Some roster entries include additional information then that found on the headstone.
Special thanks to Ann Belland for confirming all of the headstone locations and information.
