About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The Long Family cemetery is located on the Oak Grove plantation at 1163 Elon Road in Amherst, Virginia. The original house was built in 1782 and purchased by Armistead Long, II in 1840 on his return from West Virginia with his family. The original home burned in 1897 and the family lived in the enlarged kitchen house. In 1927, his grandson, Armistead Ragland Long, Sr, built the current brick home and named the property "Longacre." I had been told that the cemetery was located on the east side of the house within a stand of mature boxwood but in 2013, when the house was for sale, my brother visited and could not find the graveyard. The names and location of the graves was recorded by my father, Armistead Ragland Long, Jr. in 1955 and checked by Mrs. Bessie Long Turner at that time. The property is once again called "Oak Grove." My brother and I have just found the graveyard on the eastern edge of Oak Grove, along the border with what was Triple Oaks plantation owned by my great grandfather, John Cralle Long,Sr (Armistead Long II's son). The graveyard is very overgrown with briars and small trees.
