Joseph A. Vass of Hanover County, Virginia (1845-1888)

My great grandfather, Joseph A. Vass is buried in Woodland Cemetery in Ashland, Virginia. He is in the old part of the cemetery in the bottom, right-hand corner. His dates are January 6, 1845 - January 8, 1888. It took years to find his grave and I just happened upon it in this cemetery in Hanover County, Virginia.

This post was on another site that I had and I am moving it here. The following comments were attached to the original posting:

Hi. This Joseph A Vass was, also, my great great grandfather. He had a son, Andrew Loving Vass, who was my great grandfather. Andrew had 9 children. His oldest son was Joseph Andrew Vass, my grandfather.

Andrew was my great-grandfather too. His daughter, Hazel, was my grandmother. Send me an e-mail at ktlett@virginiafamilytree.com and we can exchange info. Take care, Kevin
