Sutherland-Hall Family Cemetery

Here follows an excerpt from the Fairfax Genealogical Society website:

SUTHERLAND FAMILY CEMETERY
Near 8207 Ridge Road
Springfield, Virginia USA

Original Information from Volume 2 of the Gravestone Books

Located near 8207 Ridge Road in the Pohick Hills area of Springfield, this one-acre burial ground serves as a wooded buffer between the older homes on Ridge Road and the newer subdivision which has grown up along the adjacent Ridge Creek Way. Ridge Road is paved up to its intersection with Ridge Creek Way (at 8160 Ridge Road), and then continues unimproved off to the southeast.

There are some fieldstones scattered about this idyllic little spot which lies in a strip alongside Ridge Road, but they do not appear to mark burials. Some trees have been cleared from the area and some neighbors use the land for storage purposes.

According to information on file in the Virginia Room of the Fairfax City Regional Library, Amanda Sutherland inherited this property from the estate of her mother, Patience Hall, the wife of Archibald Hall. Deed Book J6, page 637 reserves the one-acre cemetery for the “heirs at law of the late Amanda Sutherland” (1 March 1902).
