LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Susannah Armstrong graveyard:
                  1936 Aug. 11
                  Research made by Scioto M. Herndon

Cemetery Location:  On the Pollard farm, about 1 mile east of Jennings Gap, 
                    Virginia, on Route #250
                    Augusta County




This plot is kept in very good condition.  It is on the top of a hill, about a 
quarter of a mile from the road and is reached by the lane which leads to the 
Pollard Home.  It is sometimes called the Eyster Graveyard.  That may be because 
the Eyster farm is close by.  No stone bears the name of Eyster.  The earliest 
stone bears the date 1837.  There are several river stones and some fallen 
stones have been reset.  There are about twenty graves, including some recent 
burials, but only four prior to 1860.
