Bellefonte Cemetery is a family graveyard on the grounds of the Holladay estate. "Bellefonte" was established by Captain John Holladay on property he received in a 1702 land grant for his service as a Virginia Ranger. The property remained in the Holladay (Holliday) family until after the Civil War.

The family burying ground is located within a rock wall installed in 1922, behind the remains of the main house (vacant and in a state of neglect in 2013.) The cemetery is overgrown and does not appear to have been maintained for decades.

The graveyard contains only one marked headstone, that of Major Lewis Holladay which is marked with a D.A.R. plaque dedicated in 1933 recognizing his service as a Revolutionary War soldier.

All other graves in this cemetery are unmarked.

The cemetery photo was provided by Thomas Holladay.

Information on those buried in this cemetery is contained in "Bellefonte: survey report, 1936 Dec. 11" written by Mildred Barnum, Virginia Historical Inventory Project; Virginia Conservation Commission. Division of History.; United States. Works Progress Administration.

The place was a grant to Capt. John Holladay in 1702 for his service in the Virginia Rangers. It stayed in the same family until after the War Between the States.

The following concerning Major Lewis Holladay is quoted from the address of Judge Henry T. Holladay on the occasion of the dedication of the Lewis Holladay
Memorial in 1933.

"Major Holladay served through the Revolutionary War. He was commissioned Lieutenant of the Spotsylvania County Militia by the Virginia Committee of Safety, October 5th, 1775. In 1785 and 1787 he was appointed Captain by Governors Henry and Randolph, and Major in 1793 by Governor Lee (The colorful Light Horse Harry) and Coroner in the same year, having previously been a Justice of Spotsylvania County in 1790. In turn he was sheriff of the county, justice and Overseer of the Poor for many years. With these employments he also followed the business of farmer and planter, owning in this later years, three farms, consisting of 1, 795 acres, so that this time was fully and usefully employed."
