Mur, Your Welcome. Found a little more info.... Shirley Middleton Moller Source: MIDDLETONS and KINDRED FAMILIES OF SOUTHERN MARYLAND, D.B.LLOYD Alexander Middleton's Prince George's home site was west of Middleton Road [qv], beyond the farm burying ground. This graveyard is now identified as a grove of trees back of Dr. Alexius' home place, and from which all the tombstones have now been removed. Persons still living recollect these stones, and the unevenness of the ground there bears evidence of the former graves. Other families, such as the Carrolls, had their grave yards there. That one was bounded by an iron picket fence. The last Carroll buried there was c1900. Some of the Edelens were also buried on this site. ----- Original Message ----- From: <MUR10195@aol.com> To: <mdcharle@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2008 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [MDCHARLE] Mattawoman Church Cemetery > Thank you, Shirley.
