Tombstone dates  unknown

Single stone with the following information:

“Burial Ground of the Brewer family.  This land consists of 1549 acres granted to John Brewer, his heirs and Assigns Nov. 16, 1667 by Cecelius Calvert, Second Lord Baltimore.”                

The stone appears to be a more recent style of lettering than is usually found on stones from that time period.  There is no indication as to who placed it there.
