Graves of Martin Van Buren McCarter Family

Francis Cornett Cemetery

Martin Van Buren McCarter and his wife, Amanda Cornett, are buried in the endangered Francis Cornett Cemetery in Grayson County Virginia. The cemetery is located between Fallville Lane and Creek Lane near the Jerusalem Church. The cemetery is in a field in a small brace of trees on the hill to the left of the road.

Others buried at this site are Amanda's parents, Francis and Catherine Fulton Cornett and her sister Martha J. Cornett. There are also a number of graves marked with fieldstones which may belong to Martin and Amanda's eight children who preceded them in death.

Thanks to Susan Taylor Woodson for sharing her research on this cemetery.
