The Powhatan Cemetery Association, of Powhatan Point, Belmont County, Ohio was formed on 28 April 1888 on land donated by Aaron F. Ramsay, Sr. The Association now owns over 24 acres of land with almost 2,200 lots. Most of the cemetery lots have four to eight graves, and thus when totally full the cemetery will contain over 10,000 burials.
These records contain dates of interment not death, keeping in mind the usual short delay before burial to estimate a date of death for an individual. In some instances, though, some bodies were moved to this cemetery many years after death.
This book is a comprehensive study relating to cemetery records of Powhatan Point and as such is of great value to researchers seeking relatives from that region.
