Maps Showing Cemetery Location, by number as listed in the book "Grave Stone Inscriptions In Northampton County, Virginia"


With each burial recorded in the body of the text is given the name of the plot in which it can be found. These plots are listed here in numerical order, using the number by which each can be located on the accompanying maps. Directions to grave sites include distances from county roads. Except for very large cemeteries (such as Belle Haven, Cape Charles, etc.) the surnames of those families buried at each location are listed at the end of each entry. Several sites that were added to the list and to the map after progress on the book was considerably advanced have been given the number of an adjacent site and the letter A, e.g. 77A, 138A, 209A.
