On May 22, I found time to pay a quick visit to the Herring Family Cemetery off of Dickerson Road in Albemarle County. The cemetery is located just to the west of Lucian Herring's old home on the southeast side of Piney Mountain. View the location on Google Maps by following this link. 
The cemetery is surrounded by a chain link fence and has a gate at the north end. When I visited, the cemetery and the area around it had not been mown in some time. There are a few large trees shading the cemetery, including a very large empress tree.
Most of the grave markers are in good shape, though the grave of Katherine Hamm Herring (wife of Benjamin Franklin Herring) is broken. I have posted pictures of some of the stones below.
