The church suffered greatly during the war of 1812, was repaired in 1840 but left without a resident clergyman. Civil War soldiers used it as a stable and it later became a Union observation post from which balloons were launched to observe confederate movement. In 1870 restoration once again began and though mojorly completed by 1917, minor restoration continues to this day.
Before 1886, burials were in the church yard but either went un-recorded or unmarked. In 1886 the cemetery was organized into lots. A perpetual Memorial Garden was later created for the burial of cremated remains.
Pohick remains one of the loveliest cemeteries I have visited - from when I was quite young to present day.
