Established by the will of Bernard McMahon dated Jun 21, 1811. "Having laid off, enclosed and appropriated for a burial ground a small lot of land parcel of the same farm hereby devised, it is my will that the said lot shall forever remain a burial ground." Bernard McMahon was a famous nursery and seedman of the time

The last know burial here was in 1846.


In April, 1872, the remains of the McMahon family and Bernard Duke, who owned the garden after the death of McMahon and was buried there, were removed to Section D, Lot 183, of Monument Cemetery. When that cemetery was subsequently removed, the remains were removed to Susquehanna Lawn, Section 85, Grave 75, of Lawnview Cemetery in Rockledge, Montgomery County.
