Benjamin Moore Cemetery
aka Warrick-Moore Cemetery
Grayson County, Virginia
Location: Crackers Neck
Directions: The Benjamin Moore Cemetery is on a high hillside overlooking the New River. The Moore Ferry was located nearby. From the intersection of Grayson Parkway (US 58) and Beech Grove Lane (Rt 632) follow Beech Grove Lane to the end of state maintenance. Then enter the Eagle View development. Keep to the left at the next intersection and continue on to the top of the hill. The cemetery is beside the road.
GPS Coordinates: N36.66606 W81.04752
Surveyed by: Buford C. Wilson 14 Mar 2004, Updated 25 Mar 2008.
Comments: The property where the cemetery is located has been sold and is being developed. The developer has built a new fence around the cemetery and is maintaining the cemetery. It is in excellent condition. It appears that this may have originally been a Poole cemetery. The oldest marked grave is that of Sallie (Cox) Poole, first wife of Newel B. Poole, who died in 1857. Apparently David Poole who died in 1863 of typhoid fever during was buried here next. A period of 18 years passed before the next burial, Samuel M Poole, in 1881. It is possible that there are some other graves unmarked or marked with field stones that have been lost over the years.
