[edit] Summary

The old Fort Pearsall marker in Indian Mound Cemetery in Romney. The faded marker reads:

"Fort Pearsall was on or in view of this site."

"Job Pearsall built a fort as protection against the [I]ndians in 1754 on Lot 16 granted by Lord Fairfax in 1749 containing 325 acres including part of Indian Mound Cemetery."

"On May 14, 1756 Gen. Washington assigned 45 men and 5 officers and later 94 soldiers to defend Pearsall's fort during the French and Indian War."
