There are no markers or grave indications here. A booklet made by Anna Mary Moon in 1939 titled Sketches of The Moon and Barclay Families stated "William Moon died Sept. 26, 1840, and with his wife, is buried in the graveyard near the site of the house. The stones which marked their graves are no longer standing." The booklet is at the Albemarle County Historical Society.

The house is located at 37.898159, -78.542741.

The Moon family burial plot is located on the Viewmont Plantation, at Carter's Bridge on the Hardware River, five miles from Mount Ary. It is located nine miles northeast of Scottsville on Rt. 20 between Keene and Carter's Bridge,

Joshua Fry, one of the founding fathers of Albemarle County, Virginia, built the original Viewmont house by 1737.  That structure burned before 1800 but was rebuilt on the same foundation. The second Viewmont retained the old massive chimneys at either end of the house.  This Viewmont house also was destroyed by fire in 1939.  A third house was built at Viewmont in 1941 and again employed the original chimney brick in its walls.

Other owners of Viewmont included Virginia Governor Edmund Randolph (1786); William Champe Carter (1798), Captain John Harris (1803); and Anna Maria Barclay Moon and her husband, Edward Moon (1832).  The Moons were instrumental in starting the first Baptist congregation in Scottsville, and two of their daughters left Viewmont as adults to undertake important roles in the world.  Oriana Moon became a physician and served at the Confederate Army's General Hospital in Charlottesville during the Civil War.  After the war, Oriana and her husband, Dr. John S. Andrews, operated a hospital at Old Hall in Scottsville from 1882-1883.  Her younger sister, Charlotte "Lottie" Digges Moon, became a famous Baptist missionary to North China and spent nearly forty years in China.  She died of severe malnutrition on Christmas Eve, 1912, after sharing her meager money and food with the starving Chinese people around her mission.
