We had a fun weekend, saw the graves of Dave's ancestors who were the very first members baptized in the church 1902 & 1907 his 2nd great-grandparents (Mary Jane Foreman & Beverly Lockhart) We also found an old, small church where a lot of infants and relatives were buried. This church needs some help. It is on the property of a Boy Scout camp but they let us go in it and look around. We also saw different places where Dave's grand-parents lived and raised their family, a school house where they went to school. Uncle Robert took us around. We also saw the beginnings of Winchester Temple. Great time!
Beverly Lockhart 1847 - 1922 served in Union army,
he and his wife were first members of the Lockhart family
to be baptized int the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
Mary Jane Foreman Lockhart, 1848 - 1934,
wife of Beverly Lockhart, They lived in Back Creek, Virginia near Gore,
moved to Winchester, VA in their later years
Her Obituary said that an Elder from Washington D C
came to perform her funeral
Believers to the end even though there were
no LDS churches in the area
It was special to see her grave.
This was the neatest little church we found
up Rock Enon Springs on the BSA property.
Luckily we found it.
When we were going down this road,
Uncle Robert saw the church and remembered
that Aunt Mary Catherine was buried there.
A lot of babies that died in infancy
from the Lockhart's are buried here.
Sacred ground. We felt the Spirit here.
Probably one of highlights of our trip was visiting this place.
There was a "Carson" there
Our Carson liked this picture
Boy Scout Leader had a key and let us go in
He even let us take some hymnals.
This is an old school house in Warren County, Virginia
where Uncle William Lockhart attended school.
Its now an antique and gift shop but wasn't open
Down this road was private property but they let us come on it.
Its where the Lockharts lived when Grandfather William Lockhart
was manager over their farm years ago.
Still in Warren County, Virginia
We also visited the Temple Site for the Church
