Fisher Family Cemetery

Here follows an excerpt from the Fairfax Genealogical Society website:

FISHER FAMILY CEMETERY
Next to 8425 Hampton Way
Fairfax Station, Virginia USA

Original Information from Volume 2 of the Gravestone Books

Deed Book B5, page 292, records the purchase in 1882 by A. N. and Roxie Fisher of twenty acres of land from Thomas Moore. The Fishers sold the land in 1904 to George W. Smallwood, reserving a one-eighth-acre burial ground with access rights (Deed Book Q6, page 25).

Today the land lies in the developing area of Hampton Manor Estates in Fairfax Station. The cemetery is in the heavily wooded lot lying next to the driveway at 8425 Hampton Way, Fairfax Station. From the foot of the driveway, proceed southeast into the woods about 300 feet. The cemetery is on a slope of a hill surrounded by surveyor's markers, evidently to protect the site from future construction.

There are three deep depressions, one with a fieldstone marker, and a grave marked with fieldstones as headstone and footstone. Faint carving on one fieldstone reveals a letter which may be an “F.” There are large piles of fieldstones in the area which may be indigenous to the site.
