The House that Dr. Gravett lived in is 3 houses toward Richmond from the house at the Intersection of Bell Creek Rd and Pole Green Road. It a two story house that sets close to the road. The Givens lived about three house further down the road about where the Double laned highway starts. My husband says the house use to be the Basketts home place. Some of the Basketts live or still live on the opposite side of the road of the Baskett homeplace. Pat
It's my understanding that the Baskett homeplace (farm house) is the house now being used as the Headquarters House for this development project. I didn't know the name, but have confirmed it is Baskett. After looking at the Hanover Co, VA Rootsweb site, there is a Baskett family cemetery noted as being located on Pole Green Rd, near Rt. 360. The following are listed as being buried there: A. Temple Layne Died June 28, 1935 age 74 years Carter Wright Died Jan. 30, 1890 age 62 years old Earnest C. Lane Died 1924 Louise A. Wright Died Aug. 2, 1908 age 65 years old James Gilson Via Born 2 Dec. 1863, Hanover Co. Died 1925 Addie Wright Layne Died 1941 If this is, in fact, the same cemetery I've been contacted about, it is currently in danger of being demolished for this new development plan. In other words, these persons final resting places will end up under a new Food Lion. If any of you are more familiar with the location of this cemetery & are interested in this further, please contact me at [email protected] Thanks, Sheri Millikin
According to my records the physical location of the cemetery noted below is: Located in a field near a two-story frame house on Polegreen Road, near Route 360. It was the home of James Gilson Via at one time, who married Emily Wright. It is 300' spitj pf rpite 627 (Pole Green Road) and 350' west of its intersection of routes 615 and 627. As of July, 2000 the Layne/Lane headstones appear to have been removed. Judith http://www.southernroots.com -----Original Message----- From: Sheri T.
