"About Beaver Dam" - Interesting Recollections and Notable Natives of  
the Place, Memories of Dr. Thomas W. Hooper
"Near Cold Harbor stands the house where my father was born, and not  
far from the house there is a graveyard, surrounded by a brick wall,  
with a half-circle brick along the top. There sleep the generations of  
my forefathers. In that enclosure is buried Mr.James Hooper and at his  
funeral Rev.Samuel (blank) officiated in 1754 and preached a most  
powerful sermon on the text selected by the good man before his death  
1 Peter IV:18" The cemetery is referred to by Dr. Hooper is now termed  
The Garthright Cemetery and sits on the grounds of the house  
identified by the National Park Service as the Garthright House. The  
LVA lists Garthright House, Bldg. date 1733-1750, Builder HOOPER.

I have received information that there once existed a list of the  
persons buried in this graveyard.  If anyone can confirm this and find  
out if this list is available, it could help in our research.
