Located at Davidsonville, Anne Arundel County, Maryland on a private farm. "in the woods, approximately 2,000 feet south of Queen Anne Bridge Road..." It is extremely overgrown. Five headstones and one broken stone from a vault were located. The entire cemetery is enclosed with a wrought iron fence. It is 54 feet by 41 feet. The gate has a stylized clover design with "Dorsett" in the middle. The fence consists of 16 small spikes between larger posts with a stylized urn top. The headstones are oriented to the east, and are all made of marble. 3 stones are in one row and the others are to the east of them.
Thomas J. Dorsett owned 202 acres of land. One half an acre was reserved for a family burying ground. In 1855, Harriet Dorsett, widow of Thomas, sold a portion of the land known as Waterford to Samuel Dorsett. In 1863, Harriet, sold the remaining land to Joseph I. Duvall and his wife, Mary A. Duvall. According to the records, the property contains marked stones of several Duvalls and also, several of their predecessors. (note: Joseph Isaac Duvall and his wife Mary are buried at All Hallows Episcopal Church)
The description of the Duvall property: North side of Fish Run Branch, 202 acres, Patuxent River on the west side, with 2 acres reserved as a burying ground, being same land which Joseph I Duvall obtained of Harriet Dorsett by deed dated 12 May 1863. Land known as "Roedown and Roedown Security".
This cemetery was last surveyed in 1987. At that time, it was surrounded by a wrought iron fence, and appeared to have been neglected for many years. There possibly are more gravestones located under the overgrowth. At the time of the survey, there were 6 gravestones. There was evidence of a brick vault nearby.
