Just Finish Reading Nancy Hart, Confederate Spy at http://www.richwooders.com/net/nancy/hart.htm Some say she is buried in the mountain grave there at the Manning Knob Cemetery also known as Nancy Hart Cemetery and is so listed on Williamsburg District Cemeteries List ...the cemetery is in the western Greenbrier County, near the town of Richwood West Virginia, the marker is Dedicated to The Memory of Nancy Hart 1846 - 1902 Civil War Heroin.
Some recall a small marker marking the grave. It seems like I read an article several years ago that someone had erected a more permanent marker at the site.
Can anyone confirm or deny that she is buried in the mountain grave there at the Manning Knob Cemetery . Any help or info gratefully appreciated on the old markers and grave site of Nancy Hart, Confederate Spy |

don't know about her, but I went to Front Royal, Va. museum last month and found the gown that Belle Boyd wore and her wedding dress when she married a yankee officer and went to Wisconson Belle Boyd later married John Swainston Hammond and moved to California, where she gave birth to a son. Fighting mental illness, she moved with Hammond to the Baltimore area, had three more sons. The family moved to Dallas, Texas, and she divorced Hammond and married a young actor, Nathaniel Rue High. In 1886 they moved to Ohio and Belle Boyd began to appear on stage in a Confederate uniform to talk about her time as a spy.
Belle Boyd died in Wisconsin, where she is buried. _________________ We should learn from the past! |
