Shumate
Family Cemetery
Crest Hill Road about 1 mile west of Marshall on the South side of the road
Marshall, Virginia
This cemetery is visible from the road and is very well maintained. I
have photographed all visible tombstones.
There are unmark graves in this cemetery including many
unmarked slave
graves.
Local legend says that the cemetery contains graves of the slaves owned by
the Shumate family. The cemetery seems have 3 sections. One section is the
oldest and contains only rock markers. The main section contains the graves
of former slaves and those whose census records indicate that they are mulatto.
There is a section of the cemetery that is on the north side of Cresthill
Road that contains one grave marker for John Shumate who was white. He died
in 1873 and may have been the owner of many of the slaves.
