Al Feldstein’s Gone But Not Forgotten v. 1 [p. 38] indicates that Gerrard Clary’s headstone is in Rose Hill Cemetery in Cumberland, MD. We believe, however, that he was originally buried in Percy Cemetery, as the Clary genealogy indicates. Sometime later, his remains and/or headstone were moved to Cumberland.

CLARY, REBECCA WADDELL
(wife of GERRARD CLARY)
b. 1784
d. 1872
a. 88
“Mrs. Rebecca Clary, relict of the late Jared [sic] Clary of this county, died yesterday morning, at the residence of her daughter—Mrs. Rebecca Vrooman—in this city. Mrs. Clary was, perhaps, the oldest resident of this county, at the time of her death, now living in this city, being in the ninety second year of her age. Her remains were taken to Frostburg yesterday afternoon for interment in the family burial ground near that place.” [ALLEGANIAN, 12-18-1872, p. 3]
The Clary genealogy gives Mrs. Clary’s birth year as 1784. Therefore, she was 88 years old when she died, not 92 as the newspaper indicates. We assume that the “family burial ground,”
