This small family cemetery, once quite common place in earlier times, is the final resting place of several members of the families of Jesse and William Russell. Their homes, built in the early 1800s, remain today along Gradyville Road within Ridley Creek State Park.
All those buried here passed away between 1820 and 1861. Local legend recounts that Jesse Russell, and avid fox hunter, was interred standing upright, so he could better liten for the baying of the hounds
