Hooe Family Cemetery in Manassas National Battlefield Park
While visiting Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia I found this cemetery. The Hooe Family Cemetery contains the tomb stone of Captain Bernard Hooe, Senior. Captain Bernard Hooe was a Captain of Militia in Prince William Co., VA, Oct 17, 1776. On April 7, 1780, Bernard Hooe was deeded part of the Buckhall land by his parents, John and Anne. He died on April 8, 1810, as a result of a duel. He was prominent in local political affairs and represented Prince William County, Virginia in the state legislature. He had a political quarrel with a neighbor, James Kemp, in which he struck Kemp with a whip. The subsequent duel took place on the Maryland shore, across the Potomac River. He was mortally wounded and died at Rippon Lodge, the home of Col. Thomas Blackburn. (Descendants of Rice Hooe).
