Description

This is a photo of the Oliver/Thompson Family Cemetery in Great Falls, Virginia. James Oliver bought 633 acres of land from Eli Offutt for $2,303.75 on September 29, 1836. He then requested that 1/2 acre of this land, land that he designated to his daughter Octavia, be reserved for a family graveyard. While there are some Oliver's buried here, many of the are also buried in the Andrew Chapel Methodist Church cemetery. The remainder of headstones in the cemetery with surnames other than Oliver are located here through the intermarriage of James Oliver's children.
