I have lived off Winchester Road for 35+ years
and yes, there was a cemetery there when it was the
Grabenstein Farm. It was destroyed when the Country Club
Mall was built. As far as I know, no one took an inventory
of the stones before that was done. It would be nice if
someone had, but if so no one has ever come forth.
My husband who grew up in the area of that farm told me once
he thought it was family. The sons of this Grabenstein family
live in the Baltimore area. Are you in touch with any of them?

Are their any Topographic Maps in the Maryland Archives?
My father said when he was a young boy that his father said that Moses Mckenzie was buried there. I told my father that the only Moses Mckenzie that was worth mentioning would have been my dads direct ancestor, Moses Mckenzie B:1760 the Rev War soldier. Moses Mckenzie lived on the land that is now under the mall parking lot. In about 1958 that part of the farm was sold to make a golf course on. I think at that time all traces of the cemetery were destroyed. So if this cemetery is on a map it would be before 1955.
I believe that the following people are buried in this cemetery.
Moses Mckenzie 1760-March 24,1824
His wife Sarah Mckenzie Born about 1765-April 15,1845
Moses's and Sarah's Children
#1.Joshua Mckenzie B:1785-July 13,1845
His wife Elizabeth (Winter) Mckenzie 1795-1873
along with other Children.
Anyone ever heard of this cemetery?
Joseph Mckenzie.
