11720 Sugarland Rd., Herndon, Va.
The church, originally called
Liberty Meeting House, was allegedly built using
bricks that came from the old Sugarland Chapel
(St Timothy's Episcopal Church, FX168). In the
1950's the church is reported to have removed
the gravestones, graded the area with a bulldozer,
and then replaced the stones in their proper positions.
Two trenches, thought to be the mass graves of
Confederate casualties from the Battle of Dranesville
(Dec. 20, 1861), were noted at the end of the
cemetery. There were 40+ headstones, some broken
or displaced, and an unknown number of unmarked
burials.
