Jo An Burial Ground, Haman

This is the burial ground of Jo An of Haman, father of Eogye Jo Ryeo — one of the Saengyuksin, the six officials who survived in quiet loyalty to King Danjong of Joseon rather than serve his successor. The site also contains the graves of Jo An's eldest son Jo Dong-ho, his eldest grandson Jo Sun, his grandson Jo Geon, and his eldest great-grandson Jo Jeong-gyeon, comprising in all some ten graves belonging to five couples across five generations. From the top, the burial ground consists of two graves side by side for Jo Dong-ho and his wife, two graves side by side for Jo Sun and his wife, two graves one above the other for Jo An and his wife, the grave of Jo Geon and his wife, and the grave of Jo Jeong-gyeon and his wife. The burial ground is recognised as valuable material for studying the layout of family burial systems in the early Joseon period, and was designated Monument No. 34 on 21 June 1977 for protection.
