I recently discovered that my Aunt (89) had a letter to my Great-Grandfather from the Aviation Dept. of Baltimore from 1948 - due to the fact that the City was looking for the Heirs of Allen Warfield and his wife Sarah ( they were his Grandparents) to find out about moving the family graveyard in order to build Friendship Airport. I have copied and transcribed this letter which includes the names of the "known deceased" AND the names and addresses (where available) of the LIVING HEIRS (as of March 29 1948)
As many of the names are unfamiliar to me - I would love to find their descendants - or even a few of them although I think most were Allen's grandchildren so that's not likely. Perhaps even someone could tell me what they decided as I do not know where (or if) the graves were moved to . If any of you see a familiar name please feel free to contact me -.

Heirs of Allen Warfield.
The City of Baltimore, through its Department of Aviation, is interested in securing a small plot of land now owned by the Heirs of Allen Warfield in connection with the development of the new Airport near Friendship Church in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. Allen Warfield reserved this plot as a family burial ground for his family and heirs when he sold the farmland of which this plot was a part. The property sold off is now owned by the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church and has been developed by them late quite an extensive cemetery which completely surrounds the reserved family burial plot. There are no grave markers or monuments or any other physical evidences of
burials in the family burial plot. We understood, however, that some bodies remain there. The City is now in the process of contracting with the Holy Trinity Russian Orthodox Church for the removal of their cemetery which surrounds the Warfield plot. We would like to meet with the heirs of Allen Warfield to determine the identity of the remains interred in the Warfield burial plot and to make suitable arrangements for their removal.
We are enclosing a list of the known living heirs of Allen Warfield together with the addresses, where available. Also enclosed is a list of names of persons buried in the family plot as near as we can develop. A meeting will be held in this office (Room 1105 Municipal Office Building, Baltimore, Maryland) on April 5th , 1948 at 1:30 p.m. with the Director of the Aviation Department and the heirs of Allen Warfield. It is requested that you attend if possible. If you cannot attend it is suggested that you communicate your desires
