: You're probably thinking of the Addison Family
: Crypt, that was located some yards away from
: the original Oxon Hill Manor. The house
: burned down in the late 1890s. The
: foundation stones of the house was visible
: from the south bound lane of Indian Head
: Highway (Rt 210) in the 1950s. Indian Head
: Highway is no longer the 2 lane deal it was
: 60 + years ago. In fact it's larger than the
: 4 lane highway it was when I was growing up
: in the 70s and 80s, particularly in that
: area. (There was a horse farm where the
: Clarion on Oxon Hill Rd is, when I was a
: child.) I highly doubt the MGM casino will
: be built on the south bound merge lanes onto
: Indian Head Highway.
:
: The book, Stones and Bones: cemetery
: records of Prince Georges County, MD has a
: brief discussion about the Addison family
: crypt because John Hanson was buried in the
: crypt.
:
: Additionally, when that area was initially
: being developed for the Port America project
: in the 1980s, artifacts found on the old
: Oxon Hill Manor site are supposedly at the
: MAC lab at Jefferson Patterson Park in
: Calvert County.
:
: Anyhow, it's good to investigate if a family
: cemetery is there. After the Lyles family
: graves fiasco 12 years ago, I wouldn't put
: it past any developer paving over or moving
: graves to put up some structure.

: Hi,
:
: I'm a reporter and I've heard there may be a
: graveyard on the site where MGM plans to
: build a casino at National Harbor. I've seen
: photos that look like grave sites, but is
: there any way to verify this in historical
: record?
:
: I haven't found any cemeteries listed for
: that location on basic Google searches.
:
: Any ideas for where to call/look are much
: appreciated.
