Kerr/Nottingham Cemetery, Boyer, WV 
Surveyed Sept. 2000
by Susan and Douglas Boyer

Note: Another survey of this cemetery is reported in the ARFHS Pocahontas County 
Cemetery Listings under the name of SALUISBURY ROAD in ARBOVALE.  

Directions: The Kerr-Nottingham Cemetery that is just off the Greenbank Road on 
Saulsbury Run (sometimes called Salisbury Run) at Boyer, WV. Going north at Boyer, 
WV, on Rt. 28/92, turn right onto Howard Heavner Road, then right onto Greenbank 
Road (I believe it is also called CR4), go about 1/4 mile, turn left onto an unmarked dirt 
road, proceed 100 yards.  You can see it from Saulsbury Run Road, but there is no 
entrance there.   Greenbank Quadrangle. 

Condition: Fenced, well maintained.  Repairs have been made on some stones, and 
additional ground-level brass markers have been placed on some stones that are 
becoming unreadable. 

Notes: Generations of the original landowners of this valley, Kerrs and Nottinghams, and 
others, are buried here.  It is on property formerly owned by James Nottingham, cemetery 
currently owned by Jim Nottingham of Marlinton.
