http://www.wric.com/Global/story.asp?S=683751&nav=0Rcw7aJi Work crews in Hanover County have unearthed nearly 150 bodies in what is believed to be a slave burial site. The bodies, some of which date back to the 1750's are being removed to make way for new development off Route 360 in the Pebble Creek Community. Recovery crews are three quarters of the way through excavation. They are under court order to dig up the remains and then rebury them properly. The developer, PMG1 tells 8News there was no written record of the burial site. But local historians say it was common knowledge. Allan K. Smith, a Hanover resident, says, "We knew for many many years that there was at least 100 - 120 people buried there, and we knew it was a slave burying ground." Hanover Planning Director, Michael Crescenzo, notes, "there's been no evidence provided to my knowledge that there was anything on that property. The developer says plans will go forward to build two homes on the property once all the bodies have been removed.
