Byrd says of this cemetery: "The Dennis family cemetery is at 'Beverly', the family home on the Pocomoke River. It is approximately 40' x 40', I believe. I've never measured it, but I think that's about right. There is a 5' brick wall surrounding it with a 4' iron gate. A black sign with brass letters saying, 'Dennis Family Burial Ground' has been placed inside on the post connected to the gate. Samuel Dennis of Baltimore left a trust fund for the sole purpose of maintaining the cemetery. At present, my cousin John Value Dennis of Princess Anne, MD is taking care of the place. Sam Dennis had the whole thing covered in cement in the early 1900s, because the tombs were rising up out of the ground and some where caving in. My great-grandmother was the last to be buried there in 1903. All the markers were placed back on top of the cement. Some of the markers are very legible and some can't be read at all, but I copied down the information from the markers in 1970 when they were all legible."
