      Historic Graves of Maryland and the District of Columbia By Helen West Ridgely, National Society of the Colonial Dames of America;

      An old Clagett place is to be found a little off from the road
      going from Marlborough towards Rosaryville. The graveyard
      is indicated by a wooded knoll surrounded by a post
      and rail fence. Besides some children's graves, of recent
      date, there are only two stones of any prominence. A prostrate
      obelisk, inclosed by an iron railing, marks the burial
      place of its late owner :

      Thos. Clagett born Jan. 10, 1791 died Aug. 27th 1873 In the 83rd year
      of his age. An upright man that feareth God.
      On the other monument is inscribed:

      Sacred to the Memory of Susan Clagett wife of Thos. W. Clagett born
      the 25th of October 1814 died the 18th of Nov. 1843. She lived the life
      of the Righteous and died with Confidence in Jesus.
