The Hooe Family Cemetery is at Stop Ten – Chinn Ridge on the Manassas battlefield. The cemetery contains just one headstone, that of Captain Bernard Hooe, a Revolutionary War veteran who died in a duel in 1825. A four to five foot high sandstone wall encloses a 34′ x 47′ rectangle that was the family graveyard. It was vandalized in 1950 and the three surviving original headstones, all from 1809 or 1825, were stolen.
Location of the cemetery
The cemetery is at the Chinn Ridge Stop on the Manassas Battlefield Auto Tour. It is about 280 yards east of the main parking area, but there is also a small pull off 180 feet north of the cemetery. (38°48’20.1″N 77°31’56.2″W)
