| The following is a restatement of information taken from a 1976 study of the Haiti Cemetery as made available by the Montgomery County Historical Society to which has been added information later obtained with the help of some of the present owners. An article about Historic Haiti Cemetery can be found at Peerless Rockville . |
| The privately owned Haiti Cemetery is located on the north side of Martins Lane, Rockville and was estimated in 1976 to contain about 3/4th's of an acre. It is a part of a parcel of 8-3/4th acres owned by former slave Samuel Martin at the time of his death in 1873. |
| Samuel Martin devised 1-3/4 acre of the 8-3/4 acre parcel to his granddaughter Charlotte Penny, which included the land now used as the cemetery; and about 4 years later, Charlotte sold the parcel to her sister, Agatha P. Smith. After the Smiths had built a house on the land they began to make parts of the lot available for burials; and the oldest now-legible monument is that of Charlotte Penny. |
| The precise number of interments is not known - there are sunken spots at the site, which may be graves without markers. |
| There were fewer burials after the Lincoln Park Cemetery was established in 1917, however Haiti Cemetery is still in use, and the last interment, Henry Crutchfield, was in 1998. The use of the cemetery is regulated by the owners-mainly limiting interment to relatives and family members. |
