The Charles Carroll stone was found in May, 1961 located “deep in the woods near Beaver Dam Hill on property of Samuel Katcef (1961) and formerly belonging to Samuel McClure, high atop a hill, enshrouded in trees and thicket”. As many as 15 members of the Carroll family may have been buried at The Farm as well as at least 7 other individuals.
An article was written in the 1960’s for the Annapolis The Capital newspaper although the date is unknown.
Formerly there had been about 15 “sandrock” headstones, some dating from the 1700’s, in the circular graveyard, which had a radius of about 500 feet. It is not known what happened to the Brewer graves.
