LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, North Mountain graveyard:
                  1936 Aug. 12
                  Research made by Scioto M. Herndon

Cemetery Location:  About 1 mile north of Mount Tabor, Va., in a clump of woods 
                    to the west of Route #620.
                    Augusta County




This is a very old plot and is so overgrown with weeds, bushes, briars, etc. as 
to be nearly inaccessible.  It is on the top of a ridge completely surrounded by 
woods.  This was probably the original burying ground for the old North Mountain 
Meeting House and many of the graves are deeply sunken, stones fallen and 
inscriptions obliterated.  The earliest date is 1742 and here are buried 
soldiers of the French and Indian Wars as well as the Revolutionary soldiers.  A 
study of the names with the information given in the parenthesis might indicate 
that most of the people were related to each other by blood or marriage.
