In March of 1768, Colonel Joseph Chapline executed a deed to the Mount Cavalry Lutheran Church Vestrymen for a church and burial ground at this site. The cost was to be one peppercorn yearly. This graveyard is the oldest in the town of Sharpsburg. Some headstones date to 1774.

Marker is on Boonsboro Pike (State Highway 34), on the right when traveling east.
