                  Research made by Evelyn W. Tunison

Cemetery Location:  West of Novum Post Office, Virginia, on Route #606, ¾ mile; 
                    thence south 100 yards to the graveyard on the hill.
                    Madison County, Virginia


DATE:

Unknown.

OWNERS:

This is part of the original Aylor land.  This old graveyard is now in the 
possession of Mr. J.S. Henshaw. (1937)

DESCRIPTION:

This graveyard has probably a dozen graves.  At one time it was fenced with slab 
palings.  There is nothing left of the fence, leaving it out in a cultivated 
field, and it is covered with honeysuckle and bushes.

There is no inscription on the field stones for markers.  The graves are badly 
sunken.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

Thomas Aylor and wife Louisa and others in the Aylor family are known to be 
buried here.  It is thought that Jacob Aylor and his ancestors were buried here, 
as the old Aylor house was nearer this site than the other graveyard.
