Terrett Family Cemetery

Here follows an excerpt from the Fairfax Genealogical Society website:

TERRETT FAMILY CEMETERY Behind 6363 Lincolnia Road (Route 613)
Lincolnia, Virginia USA

Original Information from Volume 5 of the Gravestone Books

The small Terrett Family Cemetery is located behind 6363 Lincolnia Road (Route 613), southeast of Lincolnia’s intersection with Braddock Road (Route 620). The cemetery is surrounded by a wrought iron fence and the ground is covered with ivy and periwinkle. Old trees shade the one gravestone and footstone standing in the cemetery.

Clair Hyland grew up in the house next door and has lived at the site since 1929. She stated that when she moved to the area, the ruins of an old plantation house were evident to the southeast, where the Baptist church now stands. By examining old maps, Mrs. Hyland learned that a small road called Graveyard Road at one time connected the cemetery to Braddock Road to the west. She can recall no other grave markers in the cemetery during the span of her residency.

Mrs. Hyland states that a few years ago, a Terrett family member visited the site, arranged for the clean up of the cemetery and had the gravestone reset.

The cemetery was surveyed in 1987, 1994 and 1997. The marker is inscribed:

In memory of
my mother
Mrs. Julia Terrett
Who died with an assured
hope of Eternal Life.
February 1865.
Aged 76.
