1450 POWELL'S TAVERN PLACE, HERNDON
The cemetery was located west of the tennis courts in
the Crestbrook subdivision reached via a right-of-way
on the east side of 1450 Powell's Tavern Place.
The Vestry of the Cameron Parish built a brick
church (called Sugarland Chapel) measuring 53'x
40' on a 3 acre plot in 1773. The chapel fell
into disuse and eventually ruin after the disestablishment
of the Anglican Church following the American
Revolution. The W.P.A. Historical Inventory
for the "A.M. McDaniel Home" (2/26/1936 By H.C.
McMullin) recorded only one headstone, since
lost. Numerous depressions were still visible,
but no formal markers. The cemetery and ruins
were heavily overgrown.
