Hoye & Calmes
In July 1813, John Hoye married Mary Calmes. Perhaps this is their final resting place, together with son George C. Hoye. How George Calmes, the fourth person named on the crypt, fits is unclear.

Edward, 29, Elizabeth, 30 (possibly wife of David, married 1841 08/29), Daniel, 31 and John, 42, .are all listed in the 1850 census with their families. All but Daniel had real estate valued at $15,000. From the crypt erected in Rose Hill, it is evident that John Hoye had considerable wealth. The younger Hoye's with exactly the same real estate value, suggest the possibility they are children of John and Mary and that John's estate was recently settled.

According to "Hoyes of Maryland" David, Elizabeth's first husband, "contacted typhoid fever at Cumberland while attending his Uncle John's funeral. It is said that David was recovering from his illness when the doctor, while under the influence of liquor, gave him the wrong medicine. His (David's) funeral was held in the Hoye Cemetery and the sermon was preached from the text, "I looked and behold a pale horse, and his name that sat on him, was Death!" Rev., VI, 8."

After David's death, Elizabeth married John Friend of N. (Nicholas). John was the grandson of Elizabeth's father's brother, Charles Friend, making Elizabeth and John of N. cousins but not first cousins.
