Read More	This cemetery is a half-acre burial ground used by the Schermerhorn family over the 55 years they inhabited the property and continued use of the cemetery up to the early 1900's. Between approximately 1825 and 1849 a stoneware manufactory and kiln were located to the northeast of the house between an old shed and tobacco barn, remnants of which were salvaged recently by a William & Mary graduate student and volunteer team. Location is approximately 1 1/2 to 2 miles east of Richmond fronting the east lanes of US Hwy 360 just outside the I-64 interchange. It is near the intersection with St. Claire Avenue and Montezuma Rd. It is now the location of the Ginter Park Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses and address is: 2801 Mechanicsville Turnpike, Richmond, VA 23223-1824 @ St. Clair Lane. There are two or three formal granite stones belonging to Austin family members who married into the Schermerhorn family; and there is one memorial pink granite obelisk to the memory of James Parkinson and his wife Mary Shields. All are now enclosed by a painted wrought iron fence erected by the Jehovah's Witnesses that now own the property and razed the rebuilt Montezuma built c. 1901 (which at one time was on the Henrico Co. Historical List). The majority of the graves are unmarked. There are a total of 14 interments including a distant relative to John Poole Schermerhorn, an historical figure, the Rev. John Freeman Schermerhorn, a U.S. Indian Commissioner for tribes East of the Mississippi and personal friend to President Andrew Jackson. Rev. J.F. Schermerhorn died in Richmond in 1851 shortly after the passing of John Poole (1850), and was laid to rest away from his Indiana family and home at the time. The last interment was around the 1920's and then the Schermerhorn family plot at Oakwood Cemetery (Richmond, Va.)was used through the middle of the 20th century to recent years. Those not buried in Montezuma in the early to mid-1900's may have been laid to rest at Oakwood where some graves were also unmarked within a family plot. There is a central Schermerhorn stone with John P. and Josephine H. dates on it.
