The graves have been relocated to Butterwood Church and the remaining depressions and concrete grave borders are overgrown but easily identifiable. The cemetery measures approximately 100 by 150 meters (including the church) and probably held about 78 east-west oriented burials. Approximately 8 fieldstone markers and 1 concrete grave enclosure with an inscription remain (Table 7). Although the date of the earliest burial is unknown, the latest is possibly around 1940. This cemetery was mentioned in the William and Mary Center for Archaeological Research report by Clifton Huston et al. and in Doug Coleburn's The Japanese Attacked…And Then Came Pickett (Huston et al 1994:124; Coleburn 1998). It is within the boundaries of the archaeological survey of the controlled access area that is ongoing at the time of this report (Fort Pickett Cultural Resource Program's project #2004.20)." "A previous church, also called Whites Chapel, is noted to have been located in the same area on early 19th century maps (Hargrave n.d. in Huston et al. 1994:27). The original Whites Chapel was a major component of the 19th century community of Westboro that included a Grange Hall and several family homes (Huston et al. 1994: 126). Lena Bourne Ritchie (the daughter of George Bourne) described the Church in an interview and noted that "Our church-White's Chapel Methodist—a typical small, white painted one-room country church with an accompanying cemetery—was also in the Pickett area, and all the graves there had to be moved. My great-grandmother and grandfather on my father's side were buried there, as well as my baby brother who was born dead, and those graves were moved to the Butterwood Church cemetery near Darvills" (Coleburn 1998: 44)." "The cemetery was marked as "relocated" in Tract H-282 owned by the Trustees of Whites Chapel Church in 1941 (see Table 1 and Figure 1). It is included on Godburn's list of relocated cemeteries where a total of 122 individuals are noted as having been moved to Butterwood, Lakeview and Brace Church cemeteries (Table 8) (Godburn 1977: G-4). During an archaeological survey in 1994 Huston recommended the church site and cemetery as potentially eligible to the National Register of Historic Places (Huston et al. 1994:126)."
