Show morePhotograph of the Warrinton-Woosley Cemetery taken February 6, 1917. The date is etched in the top left corner of the photograph, partially obscured by the branches. Much of the graveyard is made up of sand and several grave markers are wooden. The cemetery was established in the 1830's by residents of Old Warrington, Woolsey, and a nearby tent city comprised of workers who built the Navy Yard and fort. Established on a bluff overlooking Pensacola Bay, the Historical Marker is in the yard at Quarters #12 on Billingsley Drive, NAS Pensacola. The original cemetery was surrounded by a wrought iron fence and divided into two parts- one for whites and the other for freedmen and slaves. The earliest recorded birth being 1803 and the earliest recorded burial 1834. In the early 1930s the Navy purchased the village of Warrington and contracted with Waters and Hibbits to relocate 840 bodies along with many of the original head stones. Most of the bodies were re-interred in an area now known as Barrancas National Cemetery. Records exist for 304 burials in Barrancas while others were moved to the St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery and a few to cemeteries of the family's choosing. At first Barrancas Cemetery and the old cemetery remained separate and distinct but as Barrancas continued to expand over the years it finally surrounded the old cemetery now situated in the approximate center of Barrancas in a large stand of live oaks and delineated by a a row of small box woods. The iron fence is long gone.
