                  1936 July 21
                  Research made by A. L Cole

Cemetery Location:  On the Snead Spring road across from Mrs. P.B. Halletts and 
                    1.5 miles from St. Marks Church.
                    Nottoway County, Virginia


DATE:

About 1861.

OWNERS:

This burying ground was reserved by the Oliver family having been a part of the 
Oliver tract, sold to and now owned by the Hendericksens.

DESCRIPTION:

It is a very pretty site, especially the rock wall that encloses it.  The wall 
was built of the crude rock gotten off the place, the work being done by Grief 
Cralle and George Washington Oliver.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE:

The Cralles and Olivers had lived on adjoining places and had been very close 
friends.  They expected that the two families should use the spot for burial 
purposes, but I find no record where the Cralles ever used it.  I found only one 
marker there, but was told there were other graves in the enclosure.


In memory of
Mrs. Hannah Oliver
Who died November 17, 1861
Age 42 years and 22 days
