Samuel Webster Piper visited all the known cemeteries in Washington County, Maryland, between 1936 and 1941, drawing up a list of the names of the deceased on the cemetery markers. His hand-written list was typed up by the members of the Conococheague Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) beginning in 1942. A copy of the text was given to the Washington County Free Library in Hagerstown, Maryland.
