In reading through Thomas Bannister's "Mapping 17th Century Patents on the North Side of the James River, etc.," I find reference to a cemetery in his presentation of the FARRAR PATENT.
"Lines of the Turpin Home Place.
... The 1699 deed (Michael Turpin2 to Jno Steward)excluded a graveyard and 10 acres which had been deeded back to a Farrar many years before." Bannister also quotes Thomas Farrar, administrator of Michael Turpin's will: "Trouble in transporting of ye Decd Corps from my own house at the Worlds End Down to Henrico by water to be interred there, according to the desire of the said Decd..." This pasage shows that the Turpin land was also located "at Henrico."
Is there a marked graveyard on Farrar's Island? I doubt there is a marked grave of any sort, but has a graveyard been discovered, grave sites marked, etc.?
Thanks for your time!
