Work is underway to photograph and document tombstone information for all 
identified burials in Essex County.  Wesley E. Pippenger, of Little Egypt, 
Tappahannock, Virginia (and Arlington, Virginia) is working with local 
historian and genealogist Suzanne P. Derieux (Tappahannock), to visit each 
burial location.

Thus far the team has collected burial information for over 100 private 
sites as well as dozens of small area churches.  Our ongoing index to names 
has exceeded 6,000 entries already!!

We need your help in bringing to our attention private cemeteries, as well 
as providing contact information for us to obtain permission to visit those 
sites.

Please contact me with the information below.
