Restoration of the Gray family cemetery

Traveller’s Rest site

 The long neglected Gray family Cemetery was cleaned up thanks to the efforts of  Debbi Shelton-Scites and the volunteers she contacted.  Debbi saw my request for information on John Bowie Gray’s grave on the Stafford County mailing list at Rootsweb.  As a  member of  the Stafford County Cemetery Committee, and the Adopt A Cemetery Co-coordinator, Debbie took action!  She located the old cemetery  and contacted people she knew would be interested in helping.


The following people helped clean up the cemetery:

 Linda Belles --- Stafford County Cemetery Committee member

Donna Chasen --- local newspaper reporter

Al Conner --- a Stafford County resident and VMI alum working on a book about VMI veterans

Terry Dorn --- Stafford County resident and VMI alum; Member of project to

locate and photograph the graves of the Battle of New Market vets

Bowie Gray, his wife Adele and daughter Allison --- descendants

Debbi Shelton-Scites --- Stafford County Cemetery Committee member

Adopt-A-Cemetery Co-coordinator

Rick Scites --- Debbi’s husband

Emily & Keller Williams --- property owners

 Thanks to everyone involved! 

Sarah Reveley, cousin of George Francis Reveley, VMI Battle of New Market cadet
