About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

About a mile west of the village of Occoquan and a mile north of county 641 (Old Bridge Road) was ROLLING FARM, the site of the first Selecman home in Prince William County. In 1732 Henry Seligman, a master iron forger, and his wife Margaret Harmon immigrated to America and settled in Prince William. Seligman became connected with the Occoquan Iron foundry, which also gave employment to the youthful Daniel Morgan, later to become famous as a Revolutionary War leader. Because of the difficulty of properly pronounced Seligman, the name was corrupted to Selectman and finally Selecman. Five generations of Selectman's are said to be buried in the family graveyard at Rolling Farm, though all tombstones prior to the War Between the States have disappeared. The cemetery lies on on high ground south of the upper dam on the Occoquan River, on wooded undeveloped property currently owned by the Westminster at Lake Ridge Retirement Community, accessible by a hiking trail west of the gazebo.
