Petree Family Princess Anne Co, VA Pictured Left: The Old Petree Home as modified for life in March 2005. I have been told that the house remained in the family until the last decade. It appears that the original side of the houses faces what is now 1846 Salem Road. In the neighborhood behind the house Petree Road winds to a close in a cul-de-sac behind the house. A short distance down Salem Road one can enter the Rock Creek neighborhood on Rock Lake Loop. Immediately past Big Oak Court is the neighborhood recreation area. The Petree Family Cemetery sits between the swimming pool and a playground. It is fenced and secured with a chain and lock. Some of the tombstones have been broken and repaired. |
