CEMETERY: John Will (Campbell) Cemetery LOCATION: Lowesville, Nelson Co., VA CONTRIBUTOR: Kathy Fitzgerald ------------------------------------------------------------------- Contributor Notes: Information taken from gravestones at the John Will (Campbell) Cemetery in Lowesville, VA in the Big Piney area. It is in a mountainous area on a site of land that is only accessible by a very rough uphill path that you may either walk or very slowly and carefully drive up. Until recently, it has been virtually unkept, but has been kindly maintained in recent times by an ancestor of some of those buried there. There are many unmarked graves, using only stones or large rocks as markers. Also, quite a few of the marked graves are done so by hand using either a stone to stratch the information onto a marker or homemade cement stones where the writing is done by hand. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason as to the layout of the cemetery either. It is unknown at this time just who owns the land or if there are any written records as to who is buried there. The following is a listing of some of the legible graves. This is not a complete listing. The contributor makes no guarantees as to accuracy of information submitted herein. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ?, A.C. 1857 - ? CAMPBELL, Alice M.
