Also called the Beckwith Burying Ground and more recently, Beckwith Cemetery.

Surnames are Beckwith, Radcliffe and Walbridge along with several of the Beckwith wives having the Wheeler surname.

This became the Beckwith Burying Ground when Henry Beckwith moved to Dorchester County from Virginia in 1669. There are a number of older, unmarked, graves from previous generations before the earliest memorials that have been enumerated in the cemetery. I am taking the liberty to place 'virtual' memorials in this cemetery for all Beckwiths who are almost certainly placed there. This may be somewhat arbitrary, but, if anyone has a reasonable objection to any of these memorials for valid reasons, I will try to do what is necessary to provide validity of such memorials. I have marked all such memorials as "Virtual" in the Burial Plot listing.

The Radcliffe family married into the Beckwith family of the Cedar Grove farm. The land is still in the hands of the Radcliffe/Beckwith descendants, from about 1696 to date, 2011.

All non-virtual memorials can be located in the "Tombstone Records of Dorchester County Vol. I, Pages 20-21" book that is available from the Dorchester County Historical Society in Cambridge, MD. Phone Number: 410-228-7953.
