Additional information on Find-A-Grave
Helen Ridgely’s notes in Historic Graves of Maryland and the District of Columbia,1908, p. 9, mentions a cemetery thought to have held the remains of John Macubin/Mackubin who owned a plantation known as “Brampton”. He left this property to the eldest of his five sons, John Mackubin. The cemetery was noted to have been “unenclosed [sic] and overgrown with trees and brambles and bore no sign of having once served as a graveyard, save the oblong holes or indentations.” The tenant there indicated that he remembered the stones being there but that “they had been carried off and used in the foundations of some neighboring homes.”
There were six graves belonging to the Tucker family, the property’s owners in the 1840’s according to Donna Ware, former Anne Arundel County historic sites planner, in a newspaper article in The Sun in Anne Arundel, dated November 22, 1999, p. 1B. The plantation dates from the late 18th century and was owned by Annapolis merchant Allen Quynn. The property was part of “Brampton”. The property owner in 1999 is Harvey Blonder.
A surveyor’s certificate dated October 1997 from Sigma Engineering, Inc. shows the exact location of the cemetery. Neighbors fought over development of the historic mansion as cited in a Baltimore Sun newspaper article dated Nov. 22, 1999 entitled “Neighbors fight plans for former plantation”.
