Watkins Slave Cemetery is located in Davidsonville, Maryland, in Anne Arundel County, on Maryland 424 (Davidsonville Road), 0.4 miles (0.64 km) south of US 50/301.
In 1960, road construction revealed the remains of anonymous slaves. They were reburied at Mt. Tabor Church, 1421 St. Stephens Church Road, in Crownsville, Maryland. There is a historical marker, which says the slaves were associated with the Locust Grove Plantation.[1]
