The cemetery was created by Peter Baile on his homestead Baile's Industry by the time his wife Catherine died in 1819. With Peter's death, his son Michael inherited the cemetery with the home plantation [see Peter's Frederick County probate].

To better secure access to the cemetery for Baile descendants, 23 Oct 1991, Byron C. Schutz, a descendant of John, son of Abraham Baile purchased a permanent right-of-way for $5000 [ibid., vol. 1303, p. 975]. The cemetery was cleaned up with headstones set in rows, although no attempt was made to determine their original location. The cemetery was rededicated 11 Sep 1993 by descendants of Peter Baile. The Baile Family Cemetery Preservation Trust currently provides for the maintenance of the cemetery and right-of-way.
Robert M. Barnes, a descendant of Isaac, son of Abraham Baile first transcribed the headstone information on 11 May 1987. At that time, the stone fence around the cemetery was beginning to fall down and some ground hog damage was apparent; however, the cemetery was not overgrown. Most of the stones were already moved from their original position. During a visit July 2001, some carving not previously detected was found and transcribed.
