My grandmother was Sophronia Brown Evans, daughter of Benedict Hartley Brown and Sarah Jane Vanlandingham. She lived in Reedville, VA. Four of her children were buried in a family plot there sometime between 1910 and 1922. I wonder if anyone would have any knowledge of it? It was near a body of water, a river, I think, and the family who owned the property about 30 years ago also owned a popular restaurant in the area. The children were named Jefferies Evans, Herschal Evans, Madrid Evans, and another daughter whose name I do not know. I have not seen it since I was a child and everyone who would know about it has passed on. It was a very small, poor graveyard but I would like to locate it and ensure that the graves are taken care of . Thanks for any help. Also if anyone has any info. on Benedict Hartley Brown I would appreciate it.

Have you tried through the Jones-Ash Funeral Home. Sonny Ash, retired, but still in area, knows just about every cemetery or location of a burial ground anywhere in that area. I am sure you can get help through the funeral home and ask for him, or his tele. # at home. He's a really great guy and lots of help to anyone asking.
