Epworth Church Cemetery
King William County, Virginia

Lat: 37° 47' 29"N, Lon: 77° 12' 48"W

Submitted by Jeannette Seitz, Sep 26, 2003, last edited Feb 19, 2007 [j-gen@cox.net]. Total records = 66.

From Pollards Corner, drive west on Hwy 30 for a little over a mile, to Epworth. The cemetery is on the southwest corner of the intersection of Hwy 30 with Rte 610.

This is a small cemetery owned and maintained by the Methodist Church in Epworth. It is still actively being used. There are many unmarked or illegible burial sites.

I have transcribed from the digital photos taken by my mother, Criss Faison, in Aug. 2003, when she walked the cemetery and read all existing and/or legible headstones.
