Thanks for filming and sharing. I'm on the board for this cemetery and descend from the Rowe family that you mentioned. If you ever want to do a Q&A walkthrough or guided tour of the cemetery, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to share some of the cemetery's history and interesting facts!

10:04 In those days it was traditional to have a lamb carved into the tombstone of a deceased child.

What a cool cemetery to explore! From what I can see in the background, Fredericksburg looks nice. Hope to get up there one day-straight shot up I-95

@@VATravels Excellent idea- a helpful source you might check before you go out is Find a Grave, they have locations of graves by section, sometimes the relatives and even obituaries or short bios on famous people. I checked after you had trouble locating Jane Howison Beale’s marker, and it gave the section.

Oh yeah I’m familiar with Find a Grave. Ah, didn’t even think about looking it up.
@annmcgehee172811 ай бұрын
No problem- I am familiar with it from linking relatives during my genealogy research, but it’s much improved as far as plot locations and GPS coordinates go!

Really cool and interesting video. I love old cemetery’s like this. I don’t know if you are saving him for the confederate video, but One notable grave you missed was Confederate General Seth Barton who was a Fredericksburg native

OK I’ll see if I can add him when I go back for the Confederate video
