DICKNSON COUNTY, VA - CEMETERIES - Jonas Walker Counts Cemetery ----¤¤¤---- LATITUDE/LONGITUDE 370615N 821723W (Per USGS Quad Map: Nora, VA) DIRECTIONS >From Nora, VA head south on Rt 63 to Rt 604 on the left. Take 604 several miles to Aily, VA then north on 670 following Lick Creek for 2 miles. After you cross the creek there will be a house on your right. The drive to the left of it, bordering the mountain, will lead up Josh Branch. It is an automobile junkyard. You will see this cemetery on the left at the fork in the road. FIELD NOTES: 2/14/99 While fairly well kept it is a bit of sanctuary amid a huge amount of rusted junk, automobiles, and scrap metal. 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 BALL, COUNTS and SUTHERLAND.
