About four miles this side OF Williamsburg, upon the
loft OF the main road in the centre Of very large wheat
field, we clnmp OF trees surrounded by a brick
wall about -four feet high, having evidently been built
many years Htchng our horses and passing through
gaping angle Of the WALL we found the burial place OF
one OF the Oldest families in Virginia.
There were two raised tombs and by their side the re-
mains OF what appeared to have been handsome marble
shaft. With some difficulty we were enabled to mako
out the following inscription
Here lyeth tho body OF Daniel Parke Custis, OF New$
$Kent county, who departed this life the 10th of

was covered with wild ivy.
We also passed the burial ground Of tho Talliafero
family, whose remains lie buried in what formerly
the old churchyard but recently desecratsd by being
made the camping ground OF rebel soldiers Some Of the
Inscriptions date back as fur as 174s.
