"Historic Graves of Maryland and District of Columbia", NY Grafton Press, 1908, pg. 156:
"At "Belmont'", another Dorsey homestead, there is also a graveyard. It contains fine old slabs of the tabular kind, but so overrun with honeysuckle and periwinkle that it has been found impossible to copy them. Here lie the remains of Caleb Dorsey, who in 1738 built "Belmont" as a home for his bride, Priscilla Hill. He was born July 18, 1710; died June 28, 1772. His widow died March 8, 1781, in the 63d year of her age. Beside them repose their descendants up to the fourth and fifth generation."
