Rockingham County Tombstones by Cemetery

Cemetery	East Point Cemetery
Location	East Point area, Rockingham County, Virginia. From Courthouse in Harrisonburg, Virginia, take Route 33 East. Go 12.4 miles and turn left onto Route 602 (East Point Road). Go 2.7 miles and you will see East Point Cemetery on the left side of the road.
Notes	Maintained in good condition and surrounded by a block wall. Entering cemetery from the gate in the middle, Section 1 is to the right of the gate and the rows were recorded starting away from the gate. Facing headstones they were recorded from left to right (east to west). There appears to be many unmarked graves and fieldstones with no writing on them. Section 2 is to the left of the gate and recorded starting at the gate. In Section 1 there is a large monument dedicated to the Conrad family; "John Stephen Conrad, Sr.-his wife Anna Catarina Stahlschmidt and more than 50 descendants are buried in this lot outlined by 4 granite posts. Coming from Germany they settled here about 1758. John Stephen, Sr., died in 1767 and his wife in 1768. Their rough unlettered grave stones now support this tablet. East Point Cemetery thus began." Robert Crawford furnished the following information: "The cemetery of Mary Stover where my great-great-grandfather, Sinclair Shiflet, asked to be buried in his will - the property where East Point Cemetery is located, belonged to the Conrad Family who settled there around 1750. Mary Anne Conrad, daughter of John and Anna Maria Nicholas Conrad, eventually became the owner of this property. Mary A. Conrad and David Stover were married on Feb. 1, 1855 and David was killed in the Civil War on July 1, 1861. Mary A Stover sold a parcel of land to the trustees (Rev. Henry Jones, Robert Harnsberger, Thomas Miller, Edward E. Coffman & Samuel Shifflett) of East Point Cemetery on February 16, 1888, deed book 32, page 503 of Rockingham County records. There was a cemetery already on the land when plot was sold to the trustees of East Point Cemetery. The deed has a notation indicating the sale included ‘a certain lot or parcel of land including the old burial ground now enclosed and used for burial purposes.’ Mary Stover’s husband David Stover, and George Shiflet, son of Sinclair, were both killed in the Civil War and both served in Company I, 10 Inf. C.S.A."
