From the intersection of Rtes 20/522 and Everona Road in Unionville, take Everona Road (Rte 617) north/west for about 2.3 miles, then bear left onto 627 west (Clarks Mountain Road) for about 5 miles. Turn left onto Rte 628 (Clifton Road), Go 1 mile to Hopewell Baptist Church on your right in Spotswood District.

Note: Some websites list this church/cemetery as being in Culpeper County, and provide map directions and GPS coordinates that are inaccurate, Use them at your own risk.

This cemetery is owned by an older rural Baptist Church with two separate cemetery sections on the property. The section in the right back of the church is mowed and clear of debris. The section to the left of the church is on a steep slope, unmown, has very uneven terrain (mounds and dips) with tree stumps, field rocks and old broken/unmarked headstones too numerous to count.

I walked the grounds and transcribed all the visible and legible gravestones and markers on Jun 27, 2012. This is a complete listing as of the day of my visit.

    A free online library of cemetery records from thousands of cemeteries across the world, for historical and genealogy research.

    What makes us Different?

    Single-sourced, not crowd-sourced

    Each transcription we publish comes from a single-source, be it the cemetery office, government office, church office, archived document, a tombstone transcriber. Other websites already do an excellent job of crowd-sourcing a single cemetery together. But genealogists also need to see the original records from a single source. That's what we offer.
