The graveyard itself is not very large, especially in comparison to the massive Fredericksburg National Cemetery next to it. The family gravesite contains a recorded number of 34 graves. The earliest grave in the cemetery is dated to 1756.I didn’t get photos of all of the gravestones, just ones that looked interesting. Maybe I will make another trip in the future and photograph them all. A list of graves can be found at findagrave.com.
