Historic Graves of Maryland and the District of Columbia By Helen West Ridgely, National Society of the Colonial Dames of America;
Fenwick's Manor no longer exists as a whole, nor is there any trace of a family graveyard to show where the first Fenwicks were buried. But the interesting home of the Briscoe family, Briscoe's or St. Cuthbert's Wharf, and the old Roman Catholic church of St. John are ancient local institutions that have preserved the traditions of early settlement. And then on the north side of the road leading from Oakville to Forest wharf is a part of Fenwick's Manor, which was presumably the estate of Henry Lowe, as his wife is buried there. Her gravestone, a heavy flat slab, bears a record worth preserving, but unless something is done to protect it from the ravages of time and neglect, it, too, before long, will be a thing of the past. The date, 1714, places it amongst the oldest memorials of the eighteenth century. The inscription runs :
Here Lyeth interred the Body of Susannah Maria Lowe, Late wife of Henry Lowe of the Family of the Bennetts, who departed this life the 28th Day of July 1714 in the 48th year of her age. "
