Culpeper County In 1831 Robert Stringfellow bought the place on which this graveyard is situated, from Reuben Moore and James Barbour. Since then the graveyard has been reserved by his family. This graveyard is situated on a slight rise at the edge of a grove of trees, a short distance from the old Stringfellow place, known as Retreat. It is surrounded by a fence four feet high and eighteen inches thick, with an iron gate that leads to the graves. The stones are in good condition and easy to read. There are quite a number of graves here, but few graves have very old inscriptions. Outside of this enclosure there are quite a number of graves marked with common field stones not inscribed. These are said to be slaves graves. Mary Stringfellow Died 1844 In the 65th year of her age Robert Stringfellow Died 1857 In the 85th year of his age
