史跡表示板の内容:

 犬塚家三代目の当主犬塚平右衛門忠次は、徳川家康に仕え、大井川合戦で軍功を挙げ、小牧長久手や関ケ原の戦いでは、側近で家康を警護、その傍ら、使番として命令伝達や相手軍との交渉を担いました。平時には、二条城や彦根城築城で公儀普請奉行を務め、また、諸大名の勢力を調査するため慶長国絵図の編纂にも携わりました。その子孫は、幕府で御膳奉行、御書院番組頭、御小姓組番、大坂城代目附に任じ、或いは、その系族は、彦根井伊家や松平周防守家に仕え、藩の要職に任じました。

 犬塚氏は、藤原秀郷の支流を祖とし、三河合歓木村の在地領主でした。真宗寺院への守護使不入を破ったことで起きた三河一向一揆の際は、忠次の父、七蔵が、武家門徒として針崎の勝鬘寺に立て籠もり、家康と対峙しました。

 九代目の当主忠休は、近衛家や久我家の流れを汲む堀川広益の五男に生れ、犬塚家を継ぎました。血筋は、前田利家、明智光秀、細川藤孝に繋がります。

 善仁寺には、一六五五年に没した四代目の当主犬塚平右衛門重世から現代まで、その一族が眠っています。
