DICKNSON COUNTY, VA - CEMETERIES - Sullivan Cemetery At Sullivan Branch AKA Samuel P. Sullivan Cemetery ----¤¤¤---- LATITUDE/LONGITUDE 370600N 820940W (Extrapolation via USGS Quad Map: Duty, VA) DIRECTIONS >From Haysi, VA head south on Rt 80 past Abner Gap to Rt 602. Turn right on 602 and continue for about a mile until just before 688 is seen on the right. There is a church entrance just before this intersection on the left. Go up this road and past the church for the cemetery that has a commanding view of Sullivan Branch. FIELD NOTES: 2/13/99 I spoke to Roy Harrison who directed me to this cemetery. Because both Sutherland and Sullivan are in the area, he pronounced both as "Suthivan", slurring both into one name. He used the one name interchangably for both. The cemetery was well kept, probably by church-members. Started at the top. FORMAT Note: Items in parenthesis are the best guess of the researcher. Items in brackets are my comments. A double stone is two people on one stone - usually husband and wife unless otherwise indicated. SURNAME LIST BARTON, BOYD, LAMBERT, O'QUINN, RASNAKE, STACY and SULLIVAN.
