Harry, is there a national cemetary at the park? I couldn’t find any information on the NPS site. An ancestor died of typhoid fever at Manassas in July 1862 and I’m trying to find where he may be buried.

Will – no national cemetery at Manassas. If he was buried in the Manassas vicinity, there’s a good chance he was moved to Arlington after the war, if he wasn’t recovered by friends of family.

Is Judith Henry’s tombstone really cracked? It looks broken in half. Was it vandalized?
