"About Beaver Dam" - Interesting Recollections and Notable Natives of the Place, Memories of Dr. Thomas W. HooperShe continues, "I understand these remains were removed and buried elsewhere. Can anyone find out where they were re-buried and who in addition to Mr. James Hooper was buried with him?"
Near Cold Harbor stands the house where my father was born, and not far from the house there is a graveyard, surrounded by a brick wall, with a half-circle brick along the top. There sleep the generations of my forefathers. In that enclosure is buried Mr.James Hooper and at his funeral Rev.Samuel (blank) officiated in 1754 and preached a most powerful sermon on the text selected by the good man before his death 1 Peter IV:18. The cemetery is referred to by Dr. Hooper is now termed The Garthright Cemetery and sits on the grounds of the house identified by the National
