| Located down a long wooded path approx one-half mi. behind a home with the address of 1916 Ankum Road, Gasburg, VA, this cemetery is approx. 40 ft x 40 ft and enclosed by a wire fence. Only 2 graves are marked, however one family historian states many others are buried here, including several young girls who died as children with the last name “Poythress”.

There is also a flat marker placed at the foot of this grave that depicts his first name and military service, however the year of birth on this flat marker is wrong. He was born in 1836, not 1828.

This George W. Clary and the G.W. Clary also listed in this cemetery are the same individual. Again, the birth year on this flat stone is wrong. He was born in 1836.

In 2003 this overgrown and neglected cemetery was completely restored by Mr. Archer B. Clary, a direct descendant of Pvt. George Washington Clary, and another neighbor and relative, Mr. Roland C. Clary. In October of that year a full military dedication was conducted for this Confederate Veteran by The Old Brunswick Camp #512 - Sons of Confederate Veterans. |
