THE RAPPAHANNOCK HISTORICAL SOCIETY |
The Cemetery Project led by Misty Hitt Wright has been working to locate all the cemeteries in Rappahannock County. This ardurous and painstaking process has taken many years. Over 400 graveyards have been found in the county. By using public records, family information, local history, and gravestone inscriptions the members of the project have attempted to identify who is buried in each graveyard. Many of the cemeteries are small family plots that had been unused for years, so it has not been possible to get a complete listing of every burial, but the amount of information gleaned has been amazing. The Historical Society now has their burial database in CD form on sale to the public. The cost for this item is $25.00, $27.00 if you wish it to be mailed to you.There are currently over 13,000 people on this database.
