Two are upright and four are in a fence corner, badly broken. The tobacco grows up about these stones, and the tenant who farms the place, while congratulating himself upon his fine crops, quietly ignores the claims of the dead. Little cares he for the memory of Maj. Thomas Truman, his wife Mary, or his brothers, Nathaniel and James ; and yet this group of stones is among the oldest yet discovered in Maryland. They are inscribed as follows : Here lyeth the body of Thomas Truman Esqr. Who died the 6th day of December Anno. 1685. Aged 60 years. "The Memory of the Just is Blessed." Prov. ye 1Och. & ye 7th verse Here lyeth the Body of Mary, wife and Relict of Thomas Truman Esq: who died the 6th of July, Anno 1686 Aged 52 years. Trent Hall" was granted to Maj. Thomas Truman; it now belongs to Miss Eliza Thomas of Baltimore. It is situated immediately on the Patuxent river, and is the terminus of the road leading from Charlotte Hall to Trent Hall wharf.
