Cresthill Road (Route 647)
Marshall, Virginia
Entrance
There are many unmarked graves within this
cemetery. Local legend says that
the cemetery contains graves of the slaves owned by the Shumate
family. The
cemetery seems have 3 sections. One section is the oldest and
contains only
rock markers. The main section contains the graves of former
slaves and those
whose census records indicate that they are mulatto. There is a
section of the
cemetery that is on the north side of Cresthill Road that
contains one grave
marker for John Shumate who was white. He died in 1873 and may
have been the
owner of many of the slaves.

The Virginia Tombstone Photo Project was started in January 2001. The goal of this project is to have a readable photograph of every headstone in every Virginia cemetery to compliment the tombstone transcription project readings.
You can help keep the project going by donating the photographs you have of your family's headstones and those you take in Virginia cemeteries just because you thought the stone was interesting. For more detail and tips see How to Contribute.
We reserve the right to crop, enhance and resize your image donations to meet the needs of the project. Your photograph will become a permanent part of the USGenWeb Archives.
