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.

The Oakland Cemetery is an historic African American cemetery located at 5647 Godwin Blvd. in the "Oakland" section of "Chuckatuck", a borough of the City/County of Suffolk, Virginia. Currently there is no sign indicating its location. The Little Bethel Baptist Church located at 6533 Everets Road (approximately one mile away) manages the cemetery. There is currently no sign indicating the location of the cemetery. It is adjacent to the Oakland Christian Church, its cemetery (the Newman Memorial Cemetery) and is connected by a narrow unmarked dirt road off Godwin Blvd. There are over 730 marked graves with many other unmarked found through probing or indicated by depressions in the ground from possibly collapsed early wooden coffins. Around 150 of the marked burials are from the deceased born in the 1800's, several of whom were born into slavery. Much history still needs to be uncovered. The cemetery has been inventoried and all marked burial sites have been posted with photos.
