All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/va/vafiles.htm ************************************************ File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by: Glenna Garnand Garner January 17, 2009 STARKEY CEMETERY - ADDITIONS - Roanoke County, VA I called this the Starkey Cemetery because Starkey's were buried here and I did not know the correct name. In July of 2008 Elon Hopper Hedrick copied this cemetery and found it has now been fenced in with the name of Harvey-Starkey Cemetery. She found it was called the Colonel Lewis Harvey Cemetery by the Roanoke County Historical Society. In past years it was known locally as the Speedwell and/or Taylor Cemetery. The cemetery was established between 1827 when the home "Speedwell" was built and 1842 the year Colonel Lewis Harvey died. The home "Speedwell" was owned by Lewis Harvey and later by Frederick Taylor. Located: On a knoll behing the "Speedwell" home in Starkey, VA Copied and Compiled by Glenna Garnand Garner and later by Elon Hedrick TAKEN FROM TOMBSTONES AND DEATH RECORDS. THIS INCLUDES WHAT WAS ORIGINAL SENT TO TOMBSTONE PROJECT PLUS CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL NAMES. THIS IS COMPLETED AS FAR AS WE CAN FIND AS OF TODAY 15 AUG 2008.

No Date - 07 Jan 1901 Age 71 Yrs From Tombstone (Oakey FH has died 7 Jan 1901 and buried 8 Jan 1901 with name as T. Marian Starkey) (History of Roanoke County - Biographical has his name as Tazewell Merriman Starkey born Dec 1829 and died Jan 1910 son of Mr & Mrs Jack Starkey. The death date has to be wrong as I copied his death record from Oakey Funeral Home Records and they recorded in their books as the death occurred and it seems impossible that they would go back in 1910 to a 1901 book. He was a Cofederate Soldier in the 5th VA Cavalry.)
