AMOS/POWERS FAMILY CEMETERY, Rockville (Vontay), Hanover County, Virginia

Comments: 

Amos/Powers Family Cemetery
12061 Pinhook Road
Rockville (Vontay), Hanover County, Virginia
(on property owned by Kenny & Kathy Poe 
  - no relation to Amos or Powers)

This is the information that I have gathered from the stones in place in
this cemetery. I am still waiting for my Aunt Myrtle Toler Leake
(grand-daughter of Thomas Eugene Powers and Lydia Lockett Amos) to
provide me with the remainder of the information as to just who is
burried in the "unmarked" gravesites.
