Book Description

Excerpt from Historic Graves of Maryland and the District of Columbia: With the Inscriptions Appearing on the Tombstones in Most of the Counties of the State and in Washington and Georgetown In the private burying ground at Wye House, Talbot county, the only one where the dead of two centuries repose side by side with their descendants of the present generation, Col. Philemon Lloyd, a well-known dignitary, was buried in 1685, and his wife, a namesake of the unfortunate Queen Henrietta Maria, in 1697. The inscription on her tomb is fragmentary. This was erected by Richard Bennett, her son by a former marriage, who died in 1749 and was buried at Bennett's Point. The stones at Wye show many a well executed escutcheon; only the boast of heraldry is usually accompanied. By the inevitable skull and cross bones.
