    1. Cemetery Recorded, Williamsburg, VA

    3. Thought I'd share this information with anyone interested. In the summer of 1996 I stumbled on a cemetery just outside of Williamsburg, VA. It was located about 1/2 mile north of an East-West county road named "NEWS ROAD." This road was just to the west and a little north of Williamsburg. The road shows on the local maps. I talked with a man at one of the homes along this road, and he informed me about this "NEW's CEMETERY." I visited this remote site and jotted down the names I could find there. Most were News but there were a few other names listed. Hope this helps one of you in your research. Note: Even though I believe my ancestors originated from this area in 1637, I could make no connection in my own search to the names listed here. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The grave yard contained at least 26 headstone markers and about 3 foot markers not associated with headstones.
