LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, The John W. Gibson burying ground:
                  1937 Oct. 15
                  Research made by Benjamin G. Garner

Cemetery Location:  11.9 miles southeast of Richmond, Va., on Portugese Road, 
                    thence east on Rt #60, 4.2 miles, thence southeast on 
                    Charles City Road 2.8 miles, thence east on Portugese Road 
                    4.9 miles, on the north side of the highway, one half mile 
                    through dense woods.
                    Henrico County




This tombstone is in a dense wood about one half mile from the road.  It can 
only be reached by a foot path.  It was located by Mr. A. R. Fisher, who was on 
a hunting trip.  There is evidence of another grave here but this has no stone 
over it.


In memory of
Mary E.
Wife of
John W. Gibson
and Daughter of J.B.
and M. H. Mountcastle
Born June 30, 1833
Died January 14th, 1851
She rests while angels guard the spot
Strangers, forbear, approach it not.
Unless kind pity melt thy heart
Then shed thy tears and quickly depart.
