Located on common ground
behind 10050 Woods Sorrell Ln., Burke, Va.
A 1969 survey conducted
by the Pioneer America Society's Tony Wrenn describes
a 54' x 60' fence surrounding three graves with both
head and footstones. Thick undergrowth hid any additional
burials. A followup visit in 1987 found the gravestone
of HULDAH COFFER protected by a 15' x 15' wooden fence,
no other stones evident. The underbrush and generally
poor condition of the site made an estimate of unmarked
burials difficult. The cemetery is wooded and receives
little maintenance.
