Civil War Veterans Buried in Fairfax County and the Cities of Fairfax and Falls Church, Virginia Civil War Veterans Buried in Fairfax County and the Cities of Fairfax and Falls Church, Virginia Created by members of Fairfax County Cemetery Preservation Association (FCCPA) to commemorate the Civil War Sesquicentennial. The FCCPA is a non-profit organization whose mission is to protect and preserve the hundreds of family cemeteries of Fairfax County. Many of these cemeteries are abandoned, neglected, vandalized and/or threatened by development. Acknowledgments A historical compilation like this could not have been done without the contributions of many people throughout the years. Foremost, FCCPA is indebted to: Suzanne Levy, recently retired librarian of the Virginia Room of the Fairfax County Public Library for sharing her historical knowledge and for guidance in accessing the library’s extensive Civil War and cemetery records William Page Johnson, II, author of Brothers and Cousins: Confederate Soldiers and Sailors of Fairfax County, Virginia Brian A. Conley, Asst. Fairfax County Archivist and author of Cemeteries of Fairfax County, Virginia Confederate Dead Monument, City of Fairfax Cemetery, dedicated in 1890 by the Confederate Monument Association to remember the Fairfax County men who fought and died in the war, including 200 unknown Confederate soldiers who are buried under the monument. This compilation includes the 95 veterans whose names appear on the monument. Of these, 86 are buried elsewhere or their gravesites are unknown. Visit the cemetery’s website http://www.fairfaxva.gov/cemetery/Cemetery.asp for information about the monument and the full list of Civil War veterans memorialized there.

(FCCPA) page 1 of 26 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. Why was the database created? The database was created for several reasons: a. a mission of the Fairfax Cemetery Preservation Association is to educate the public about the county's over four hundred cemeteries b. the nation is commemorating the Civil War Sesquicentennial c. we wanted to honor our Civil War veterans 2. Why weren't Civil War veterans, whose burial spots are unknown, included? We are highlighting the cemeteries in our county, by focusing on the burials of and memorials to the veterans interred there. 3. Why were Fairfax City and Falls Church City included with Fairfax County? During the Civil War and through half of the 20th century, both localities were part of Fairfax County. Regarding other adjacent communities, Washington, DC returned land to Virginia before the Civil War. From that land the City of Alexandria was rechartered and Alexandria County (later named Arlington County) was formed. 4. Why are there so few Union soldiers included in the database? Virginia was a Confederate state. Some, but relatively few, county residents served in the Union forces. Many of the Union veterans in the database settled in Fairfax County after the war. 5. Where are the men buried who died on the battlefields? Most of them are buried at national cemeteries near the battlefields; for example, Gettysburg National Cemetery, Alexandria National Cemetery, and Culpeper National Cemetery. Fredericksburg National Cemetery has 15,243 Union soldiers in the cemetery with only 2,473 identified. 6. Why are so many burials unknown? There are several reasons, including: a. thousands were buried very quickly at the battlefield b. the soldiers were not provided with permanent identification markers like today’s dog tags c. armies were on the move d. accurate records were not kept of men who died as prisoners or in hospitals 7. What efforts were made to identify the dead after the war? In 1865, the US Quartermasters Department disinterred Union soldiers from farmland and reburied them in national cemeteries, such as Arlington. The National Archives has the quartermaster’s ledgers indicating the original burial location and where the soldier was buried at Arlington Cemetery. Once again, many of these are labeled as Unknown. The Roll of Honor is a series of volumes compiling these records. Also from 1865-1869, Clara Barton and her friends aided Americans in finding missing soldiers. Barton received over sixty thousand letters requesting help in finding a missing loved one. Through their efforts, 22,000 missing soldiers were located. 8. What types of records did you use to create the database? Our first choice was primary sources when possible. Military records were easier to locate than burial records. Please check our Bibliography and Useful Links sections for further details on sources used. © November 2012 Fairfax Co Cemetery Preservation Assoc. (FCCPA) page 2 of 26 9. How can one make additions or corrections to the database? Please contact FCCPA through our website at www.honorfairfaxcemeteries.org. We would appreciate source information and/or documentation. 10. Are there plans to expand the database to include other localities? No, we do not have any such plans at this time. 11. Does the database include ALL the Civil War veterans who were buried in Fairfax County? The database includes those whose records were located. There are many graves in Fairfax County which are not marked. © November 2012 Fairfax Co Cemetery Preservation Assoc.

  • Mills and Mill Sites in Fairfax County, Virginia and Washington, Dc
    Grist Mills of Fairfax County and Washington, DC MILLS AND MILL SITES IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA AND WASHINGTON, DC Marjorie Lundegard Friends of Colvin Run Mill August 10, 2009 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Most of the research for this catalogue of mills of Fairfax County was obtained from the owners, staff members, or neighbors of these mills. I want to thank all these persons who helped in the assembling of the history of these mills. Resource information was also acquired from: the library at the National Park at Great Falls, Virginia; the book, COLVIN RUN MILL, by Ross D. Nether ton; brochures from the Fairfax County Park Authority; and from the staff and Friends of Peirce Mill in the District of Columbia. Significant information on the mill sites in Fairfax County was obtained from the Historic American Building Survey (HABS/HAER) reports that were made in 1936 and are available from the Library of Congress. I want to give special thanks to my husband, Robert Lundegard, who encouraged me to complete this survey. He also did the word processing to assemble the reports and pictures in book form. He designed the attractive cover page and many other features of the book. It is hoped that you will receive as much enjoyment from the reading of the booklet as I had in preparing it for publication. 0 Grist Mills of Fairfax County and Washington, DC Contents ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ......................................................................................................................... 0 GRIST MILLS of FAIRFAX COUNTY and WASHINGTON, DC .............................................................

It is for that very reason that it is important for students to study the Civil War. Although many positive events resulted from the battlefields throughout the North and South, such as the abolition of slavery, the regions that made up the Commonwealth of Virginia were known for their major battles that led to excessive bloodshed and division among families. Richmond, Virginia, more importantly known as the capital of the Confederate states, became the hub for significant occurrences that consisted of progressive gains in the war‟s endeavors, but at the same time yielded substantial misfortunes and losses. Learning this information is significant for students because it enables them to understand effect of the war on Virginian families during the Civil War as well as the tensions still felt in Virginia today.
