On the first of these three stones is a finely carved coat of arms, on the second, a rough imitation of the former.
Amongst the graves of the settlers of the fourth district is that of Adam Goose, on the property which he conveyed in 1760 to Michael Gore, and still owned by representatives of the Gore family. It is supposed that Michael Gore is buried in another grave on the property, with nothing to mark its position. Some of the Gore family have been re- moved to the Methodist burying ground at Reisterstown. An old family servant of Michael Gore, aged 90 years, said the old Gores were all Tories.
Near Reisterstown, in the same district, are the Richards' graves, 1770 and 1776; James Mannon's, 1789; graves of the Parrish family; of James Hannah on the Cherry Hill road, at Cedar Grove; on Frank Lowe's place, "Delight," and John Ford's place, farmed by Conrad Fox.
In an unmarked grave at "Pomona," once the home of Robert Riddell, lies the body of the Rev. George Ralph, a native of England. He started as a teacher in Baltimore, in 1790, was ordained by Bishop White, of Pennsylvania, in 1791, and held the position as rector of several country churches, with which the duties of school teacher were in most cases attached. He was for several years principal of Charlotte Hall school, in St. Mary's county, entering upon
his duties there in 1801. A quaint building, still standing on the ground and called the "White House," was built by him. This is his only monument. He was of Irish de- scent, and had the proverbial eloquence of his race. He married Miss De Butts, niece of Dr. Butts, of Mt. Welby, Prince George's county, and left two children, a son and a daughter. He died in May, 1813.
Upon his death the youngsters of the neighborhood thought that some rites of their own were necessary in order to exorcise so indomitable a spirit. Therefore, with much

labor they deposited a huge stone over his grave to keep him from rising again. Another story is told of him, in reference to an altercation he had with Mr. Key, while he was principal of the Charlotte Hall school. The latter exclaimed in his wrath, "Were it not for your cloth I should fight you," whereupon the reverend gentleman took off his coat and threw it on the ground saying, "Lie there divinity while I chastise rascality."
The Croxall graveyard, on the farm of Mr. Charles T. Cockey, contains many graves; the headstones of some are gone, but the footstones still remain. Near these, on the slope of the hill, are interred the bodies of the slaves. Although there are many inscriptions extant, which are given below, the graves themselves are in a dilapidated condition and need attention. This graveyard is still in the custody of the heirs, Mr. Cockey having no control of it. Most of the fol- lowing inscriptions are taken from flat slabs raised on brick foundations in different stages of decay.
Here lies interred the body of Elizabeth Rogers. Departed this life on the twenty-eight day of February 1777, in the sixty second year of her age.

Micajah Merryman, Jr., was first lieutenant in a troop in 1812. When the troops were ordered to North Point, it was found that the privates were few in number, in com- parison with the officers, and this troop and another were combined into one, the supernumerary officers being per- mitted to go to their homes. Lieutenant Merryman was one of those whose services were not needed. When, however, it was known that the British were about to land, Lieutenant Merryman went to the front, took a place in the ranks as a private and served to the end.
Micajah and Rev. Charles G. Merryman were twins, born December 31, 1860.
