Item of interest, found on property located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in area now known as Willards, MD
"The one remaining intact tombstone reads "William A. Dennis, son of Wm. & Rachel Dennis. Born Sept. 16, 1829, died Oct. 31, 1876."I don't know if that will help or not.There are a lot of broken pieces scattered around with all sorts of fragmented letters which leads me to think that it is a Dennis family burial ground.One piece has Rev. on it which makes me think some family member buried there was a minister.I would think that the family was fairly well-to-do as back in those days to have all the gravestones in marble indicated a wealthy family."
