Read More	The only extant discription is this 1906 account: The existence of a Jewish cemetery in 1786 indicates a Jewish community of some size. How long previous to that year the cemetery had been established is not known. The earliest mention of it occurs in a document (in the possession of Mr. Mendes Cohen of Baltimore), dated July 12, 1786, headed "Mr. Carroll's [Charles Carroll of Carrollton] claims." It is a "list of the names of the Persons who occupy the ground (supposed to be about 2 acres) on the east side of Jones's Falls, . . . with an account of the improvements." One of the items is "The Jews burying-ground, 1 small lot enclosed," situated in Ensor's Town, now Jew alley,near East Monument street. At present one part is occupied by the meeting-house of an African congregation; and the rest is a dumping-ground for refuse. A deed dated Dec. 26, 1801, conveys this same burying-ground from Charles Carroll to Levi Solomon and Solomon Etting, for a consideration of five shillings; and another, dated Dec. 29, 1801, for a consideration of $80 current money, conveys it to the same parties from Wm. McMechen and John Leggett. Interment is known to have been made in it as late as 1832, the very year in which the oldest Jewish cemetery now in use was established. No indications can be discovered of the removal of remains buried in it when the cemetery was abandoned. On the testimony of a resident close by, the last tombstone was removed, surreptitiously, presumably for building purposes, as recently as from forty to fifty years ago. http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/2420-baltimore
