Notable Graves - FREDERICKSBURG CITY CEMETERY

[@georgebarnick]

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!

[@VATravels]

Ok great, I'll be back sometime to film the Confederate side. I might get with you. Thanks

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]

Oh it a great town for sure. Lots of history and definitely worth the stop!

[@Steve-Duh-Rino]

@@VATravels I need to check it out then!

[@annmcgehee1728]

Thanks! Great job, kudos for the extensive tour! Cemeteries are so interesting and full of stories of both the famous and not so famous- thank you for sharing!!

[@VATravels]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I'm going to do a few more of these over the winter.

@@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.

[@VATravels]

Oh yeah I’m familiar with Find a Grave. Ah, didn’t even think about looking it up.

[@annmcgehee1728]

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

[@VATravels]

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

[@emih9070]

Great and interesting video. Like the drone shot and music. Thanks for your time and talent.

[@edwardedwards-hb4qp]

Thanks! always wondered about that cemetery. I learn so much from you. You should do the Masonic Cemetery sometime.

[@VATravels]

Your welcome! Yea I did the Masonic Cemetery a while back. It's a good one as well.

I have an ancestor who is buried there. He was killed during the Battle of the Wilderness.

[@theronp.keller6249]

Do you have a link to a Find A Grave memorial for him?

[@coniwatson9512]

My Ancestor George Hume land out Fredickburg. Also founder of Episcopal church . Plack is dedicated to him. He also had George Washington apprentice under Him as land Surveyor. Check his history on him .
