Anderson Hill Cemetery

aka Anderson-Sebastian Cemetery

Grayson County, Virginia

Location:  Rocky Hollow section of Grant

Directions:  The Anderson-Sebastian Cemetery is west of Troutdale Hwy (SR 16) between Rocky Hollow (Rt 639) and Porter Roads (Rt 836), up a private drive.

GPS Coordinates:  N36.678680 W81.422264

Surveyed by:  Jeff Weaver, 11 Mar 2003

Comments:  The cemetery is well fenced, neat, and clean. At the time of the survey evidence of recent work was found. There are 198 graves identified in this cemetery.

Despite the name ascribed to this cemetery, there are other families with more graves and earlier burials. I question whether or not this cemetery has had another name.
