Accotink Bay Wildlife Refuge. South side of Accotink
Creek., FORT BELVOIR
This cemetery is located about
1/4 mile from the site of the old McCarty Family
home "Cedar Grove". The house is now gone and
all that remains of the cemetery is an overgrown
plot surrounded by a few concrete posts, placed
here in the 1920's. One corner of the cemetery
appears to have been impacted by 20th century
mining operations. Tradition holds that the
gravestones from the McCarty Family cemetery
at "Mount Air" were moved here, and that later
all the headstones were moved to Pohick Church.
The three headstones that were noted by Carrie
White Avery's 1922 survey of this cemetery can
indeed all be found on the east side the church.
