Surrounded by a substantial stone wall, but overgrown with periwinkle, brambles, 
bushes and trees.  Several fallen trees having broken down some of the stones 
and concealed others; information here was hard to get.



There are two flat slabs so badly blurred as to be almost illegible.

Sacred to the memory of
Thomas Marshall
who died in Baltimore while on his way to see his venerable father, then ill in 
Philadelphia.  He left his motherless children to mourn his untimely ... and 
....  In him were all the virtues ... discharge of every private duty ... man 
... scholar ... his hope of happiness beyond the grave.
Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord
(and at the bottom was date) 1781 ??


Sacred to the memory of
Margaret W. Marshall
consort of Thomas Marshall of Oak Hill
who died February 2, A.D. 1829
in the 38th year of her age.
Admired without envy, beloved without hypocrasy,
candid, kind, and considerate, every look and every
word denoted equal dignity and equal sweetness.
... eminently exempt from selfishness, her sympathy, 
generosity, and sacrifice of ease, health, and comfort,
were not often equalled.
An humble follower of the Blessed Jesus, she made his word
the rule of her life, on earth, and trusted to his blood as
her passport to the Live Above.


Sacred to the memory of
Mrs. Agnes Lewis
consort of Fielding Lewis
of Weyonoke
(rest under fallen tree)
