About 8.5 miles from the Chapel, you will come upon what was the Wilson and Fortune family farms and cemetery on your left. We are now getting close to the end of driving tour. It was thought that the house left standing here was the old Wilson farm house. We are not sure of that now. But we do know that on the 1885 map, the Fortune home was closest to the intersection of Indian Trail Road and Fridley's Gap Road, with the Wilson farm house next to it. The cemetery would have been close to this house. Today the little cemetery is being maintained by Friends of the Shenandoah Black Heritage Project. We did a day of clean up. One of the things we discovered was the inscription on Charles R Fortune's stone. It reads "there is no parting in heaven". So often families were involuntarily separated.
