It’s a complete coincidence that the Manokin Church drew MDP to it’s graveyard on the way to Crisfield because the Crisfield family is buried there. You may have noticed the disconnect here. The Crisfields are buried in Princess Anne, not in the town of Crisfield! Why? Becasue they actually had very little to do with the town itself.
It turns out that the town Crisfield took it’s name from JW Crisfield, a Princess Anne resident who brought the railroads twenty miles south to the bay at a town which would then bare his name. We see the graves of his offspring in this picture as their names are still clearly marked.

I just noticed that the woman on the left was 54 when she died and still is called “daughter of.” She doesn’t even directly get a last name. Bleah.

By “left” I meant the other left, obviously.
