Earliest Gravestones In Frederick Adams Counties
To the Editor, we submit tentative conclusions on the oldest gravestones in the Monocacy Valley. The earliest dates pre 1750 belong to Scotch Irish and Irish Presbyterians in Adams County, with 1741 and 1746 examples in Marsh Creek and surrounding cemeteries. The article surveys multiple graveyards in Frederick and Adams counties, noting stones from 1741 to 1749, and identifies sites such as Black's Graveyard near Gettysburg, Old Hill Marsh Creek, and Great Conewago near Hunterstown as the oldest. It cites HCAC research and Warner Beers histories for corroboration.
