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

                    Augusta County




This is a community plot, in rather good condition, although many stones have 
fallen and some graves are sunken as well as unmarked.  It is a fairly large 
graveyard but only eight graves remain of those marked before 1860.  There are a 
number of unmarked riverstones.  The earliest date is 1852.  There is a veteran 
of the War Between the States buried here and there are many late interments.
