9301 Richmond Highway, Lorton, Va.
Pohick Church was constructed
1768-1774 to replace Lewis Chapel, formerly located
a few miles to the south. This large cemetery
contains many interesting markers, including WILLIAM
HARRIS (d. 1698), the oldest surviving gravestone
in Fairfax County. All of the pre-1870 gravestones
were moved here from other graveyards in the area
as the church and grounds suffered serious neglect
and damage in both the post-Revolution disestablishement
period and the Civil War.
