FX408 -- FITZHUGH FAMILY CEMETERY
The cemetery south of Springfield Mall once owned by the Fitzhugh family was a reserved one-acre lot. It was moved in 1970. The one acre site is first mentioned in deed D3:411 and then down through transactions until deed 479:85. The quitclaim from the Lee family and the note of the cemetery removal is at 3297:5
Local researcher Charles Gailey misinterpreted the deed and confused this cemetery with the nearby Broders family cemetery. He marked this Fitzhugh cemetery as east and north of the Spring Mall/Frontier Drive intersection, which is exactly where the Broders cemetery stands. This caused an inaccuracy in the county records that has never been acknowledged.
