PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA - CEMETERIES – Weaver Place Cemetery ----¤¤¤---- Source: Library of Virginia Digital Collection LVA Titled Files: Survey Report, Weaver place: 1937 Nov. 16 Research made by Susan Rogers Morton Cemetery Location: On old Weaver Road, a little more than a mile from Dumfries, Virginia to the north. Prince William Co., Virginia DATE: (blank) OWNERS: Wm. Carr Mary Spence and Wm. Weaver A Mr. Williams Geo. E. Williams Jeremiah Davis Frank Davis DESCRIPTION: There is nothing left of the old house except a few mossy bricks. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Among the old people this place is known as the “silk farm”, for there was an attempt to raise silk worms on a large scale and in spite of assiduous cutting, the mulberry that was planted as silk worm fodder still appears. To the east in what is thick woods, is the old graveyard, the gravestones almost hidden in a tangle of myrtle and bittersweet. There are numerous graves here and several of them have had inscriptions but are so worn that it is impossible to make anything out. On one I found the initials I.M.C. 1768, there was another date on one of the others 1752, but the top of the stone was broken off and with it the name, if any, the only one that was on a marble slab, the others were of field stone, with a well cut cross above the name: Capt. Wm. Weaver, born May 17th 1792, died Sept. 15th, 1846 SOURCES OF INFORMATION: Informants: Mr. Charles Brawner Mrs. Wheat Mr. Frank Davis, All of Dumfries, Virginia Tombstone Inscriptions Visit by worker. ___________________________________________________________________ Copyright.
