Does anyone know if there were seperate cemeteries for persons of color. My ancestor resided in Richmond and Henrico County, and died around 1800. He lived in the area of Rocketts Landing. I am trying to find a cemetery he and the rest of the family may be buried in. He is listed as Mulatto in the census records for Henrico and Richmond (1783-1800). I am looking for a Lewis family cemetery in Henrico and/or Richmond. He may also be buried at St. Johns in Richmond.

sorry, back in those days- and even till recently- there were separate cemeteries for persons of color. Very often back then, tho, even for whites, they were buried on the family property, even if it was within the city. A minority of residents were buried at St. John's, and of course you had to be Anglican, and a member of the congregation, it was not a public cemetery.

That is what I thought as well, but my understanding was that Pocahontas was married at St. Johns in Richnmond. I have Native ancestors (who were listed as Mulatto), and belonged to the Episcopal Church during Colonial Times. I do not know if they were buried there (Lewis is only one of my family surnames), but they were Christians.
