This cemetery is located in Hartwood, Va. It backs up to property on Stoney Hill Road. David Briggs and his wife Jane are there, also Neil McCoull and Ann McDonald. There were others there, but the headstones were taken. Only David and Jane share a huge one which was too heavy to carry off.

Brigg’s #2 SLAVE CEMETERY TM-25 Parcel26G-7

The Cemetery is at 99 Stoney Hill Road. Go to end of gravel road and the cemetery is about 30 feet on the left side of the house. There is only ankle deep periwinkle there. Relatives speak of a slave cemetery being on the property somewhere, but this is the only indication we have of the location. It is about 100 yards south of the Briggs Cemetery #2.
