George Adam Moler (1714–1783) and his wife Eve are buried in this cemetery. George Adam Moler came to America on Aug. 29, 1730 with his father Ludwig Mohler, settling first in Lancaster, Penn. He moved to this area around 1758 and received a land grant from Lord Fairfax in 1762. Because his last name was misspelled on that land grant, he changed its spelling from Mohler to Moler. This cemetery is on the original land grant. Also buried here are George Adam Moler, Jr, who served in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and George Washington Moler, Jr., who served in Co. “D” 12th Virginia Cavalry, Laurel Brigade, C.S.A., was wounded, and died at Staunton, VA on Dec. 22, 1863. The family is remembered along with all the Molers of Jefferson County, West Virginia, and their descendants.
