THE SOWDER FAMILY CEMETERY There is a small family cemetery near Copper Hill, Virginia containing about 40 graves. Jacob Sowder if probably buried there but there is no marker to prove this. The cemetery is located on a knoll on what once was Jacob Sowder's farm in what now is Floyd County. This site is about seven miles from another farm that Jacob Sowder once owned in Montgomery County, Virginia. On October 16, 1994, the following Sowder information was gathered from the headstones of the cemetery. In addition to the Sowder headstones, there are also Fowler, Huff, Poff, King, and Stump surnames.
