About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Nash Cemetery, also known as the Smith Family Cemetery, is located on land belonging to The National Memorial to the Progress of the Colored Race in America in James City County, VA. The National Memorial's founder Elder Lightfoot Solomon Michaux's greatest accomplishment was the establishment of the National Memorial to the Progress of the Colored Race in America. He purchased some land along the Colonial Parkway near Jamestown, Virginia, on January 2, 1936. In August 1943, he purchased a second track of land in that area, and established the James City County Bible and Agriculture Training School Farm. Elder wanted the farm to be a place of training for delinquent young men. The National Memorial Park Beach and the farm were apart of the National Memorial to the Progress of the Colored Race in America. The cemetery is located within this tract of land.

The cemetery consists of 22 graves but only 11 are marked with tombstones and one with a funeral home marker. The remaining graves are marked only with flowers.
