ADVANTAGES OF ANNE ARUNDEL.
Bordered on her entire eastern front by the Chesapeake bay, into which flow the Elk, Sassafras, Chester, Third Haven, Choptank, Nanticoke, Wicomico and Pocomoke, on the east, with the Bush, Gunpowder, Patapsco, Magothy, Severn, South Rhode, West, Patuxent and Potomac Rivers on the west, she has eighteen out- stretched arms inviting abundant resources and opportunities.
What cannot be grown in her soil may be found in her neighbor- ing waters. Says Professor William K. Brooks, of Johns Hopkins University :
" The Chesapeake bay is a great river valley, not as large as the Nile or Ganges, but of enough consequence to support in comfort and prosperity a population as great as that of many famous States. It receives the drainage of a vast area of fertile land stretching over the meadows and hillsides of nearly one-third of New York and nearly all of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia.
"More than forty million acres of this great tract of fertile soil send its rich deposits into the bay, in the green waters of which it sinks as fine black sediment, known as oyster mud. This is just as valuable to men and just as fit to nourish plants as mud which settles every year on the wheat fields and rice fields of Egypt."
This alluvium sustains an endless variety of microscopic plants and animals on which the Chesapeake oyster fattens and multiplies, becoming, in flavor, unrivalled. Since the beginning of the oyster packing trade in 1834 up to 1891, an estimate places the output of the bay and its tributaries, in packing and shipment, at 400,000,000 bushels, and when legislative enactments shall have succeeded in regulating that output, the same sources of supply will continue a boundless wealth of comfort and prosperity to many thousands of our people.
The Chesapeake also modifies the climate of Anne Arundel, enabling out-door labor comfortable for three-quarters of the year. The cheap transit of the bay offers special inducements to the growth of manufacturing towns along the borders of its tributaries.
The soil of Anne Arundel is rich in variety and mineral deposits, including porcelain clays and glass sand. Fruits, vegetables and tobacco growing are about equally divided. Chief Howard, of the Bureau of Statistics, reports: " Lands can be purchased by immigrant settlers in tracts of from one acre to 1,000 acres." Many portions of Anne Arundel are identical in soil with the famous small-fruit growing county of Cumberland, New Jersey, in which is situated

Vineland. The climate of Anne Arundel is more favorable than that of Cumberland County, New Jersey, and offers special inducements to fruit growers, for the location is such that there is a choice of excellent city markets.
With a few exceptions, nearly all of the old manor estates have been subdivided, necessarily, by the present labor system, which puts most of the estates under tenants. Excellent oyster-shell roads are yearly connecting the more remote sections with market centers. In the southern sections of the county, corn and tobacco are the chief crops, aided by fruits. Here tenants lease the estates at a rental of one-half of the products. Remote from railroads, their markets are reached through the various lines of steamers that touch at available river harbors. Here, daily, upon the arrival of the boat may be seen the congregations of ox-teams employed in hauling the hogsheads of tobacco or the more inviting boxes of peaches.
The assembled conveyances at the two wharves of West River, on the boat's arrival, have much the appearance of a small-sized camp-meeting. Summer sojourners in the many boarding cottages along these rivers come in their rowboats to see the crowd of excur- sionists, as well as to learn lessons of patience and of agriculture in loading and unloading of all manner of freight. The combination passenger and freight steamers of the bay grow greater in population yearly. A whole day's ride upon the bay may be enjoyed, and in that ride many interesting points herein recorded may be seen and appreciated.
Old Anne Arundel, the "Providence" of the sturdy settlers, is yet to make history and rival her ancient prestige.
HOWARD COUNTY.
With a history that covers two centuries, Howard County has had no historian to record it. With a river unrivalled in tragedy and unexcelled in picturesque sublimity, no artist has immortalized it. With every evidence of a pioneer race who roamed as hunters upon its waters and through its forests, no Washington Irving has snatched up one of its rude types to dress him in his native garb, or make him "King of that enchanted realm where comedy and pathos dwell; where laughter touches tears and sadness blossoms into mirth." Bordered by the rocky profiles of the Patapsco on the north and by the rich levels of the Patuxent on the south, this gem, set in a frame of rushing, tragic waters, with a lustre as brilliant as the patriotic career of the Revolutionary hero for whom it was named, now adorns the glittering diadem of Queen Henrietta Marie's crown.
There are many living who can remember when this western section of the Mother County was erected into Howard District, but there are none to tell the struggles of our pioneer settlers.
The Patuxent was known as early as the St. Mary's. The Patapsco was ranged as early as the Severn. Up these rivers and along the blind paths, blazed by Indian hunters, came the lowland settlers to the Ridge of Elks, to build their cabins by the side of the Indian wigwams.
When Thomas Browne, the Patuxent Ranger, was commissioned "to range from Mr. Snowden's plantation to the farthest limits of the Patuxent," we find him before 1699 up as high as Clarksville.
When Charles Carroll, of Annapolis, the friend of Lord Proprie- tary, received his 10,000 acre grant of "Doohoregan," it extended " from the Patuxent by a blind path to Thomas Browne's plantation and to four Indian cabins and thence to some oaks."
Carroll's grant came from the Proprietary himself, but Browne's grant was through the friendship of Captain John Dorsey, of the Council. The evidence of this is shown in the name of the survey. "Brown's Chance" and Captain Dorsey's "Friendship," better known as "Walnut Grove," at Clarksville. There is, also, evidence that our Patuxent Ranger was a progressive farmer, for he knew the value of a limestone quarry that was upon it.
He marked the boundary lines of "Brown's Forrest," adjoining his friend, Captain Dorsey, at Oakland Mills, and after a survey of some thirty tracts he is finally found up on "Ranter's Ridge," over- looking the Patapsco, at Woodstock.
Long before that Benjamin Hood had followed it to Hollo- fields, where a former highway had crossed it, and there built his mill upon "Hood's Haven." Browne and Hood were close enough to each other to talk through their wireless telephone.

Richard Snowden next started out to follow Thomas Browne into his beautiful forest country. He had already backed out from his iron mills upon South River and had built his furnace upon the Patuxent, east of Laurel, the first internal improvement of Upper Anne Arundel.
He had built "Birmingham Manor House," in 1690, and had encompassed the whole town of Laurel. We next find him upon the Patuxent as high as Fulton, taking in that whole section under the title of "Snowden's Second Addition to Birmingham Manor."
Colonel Henry Ridgely, hearing of the lovely forest homes in Upper Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties, followed Snowden on the north to Huntingtown. Here he took up that whole section as "Ridgely's Forest."
Richard Warfield rode thirty miles on horseback to plant the first stake of "Warfield's Range" upon the beautiful falls of Middle Patuxent at Savage Factory, running back two miles.
Honorable John Dorsey sent his surveyors out from "Hockley," to go beyond Richard Warfield on the north. Taking up "Troy Hill," at Waterloo, he backed up to Oakland Mills and Columbia and then stretched out from Simpsonville to Clarksville, where he again met Thomas Browne.
Colonel Edward Dorsey followed him to the same neighborhood in his "Long Reach," which joined Hon. John, at Columbia.
All of these surveys were made before 1700. A quarter of a century later, this whole area was occupied by the sons and grand- sons of these pioneer surveyors.
The Ridge of Elks had become the summer resort of fashion. It was so popular, in fact, as to cover the whole territory, from Laurel to Elk Ridge Landing, to Ellicott City, to Clarksville, and back to Laurel.
Thomas Browne's sons, Richard Snowden's sons, Colonel Ridgely's grandsons, Richard Warfield's grandsons, Hon. John Dorsey's grandsons, seven in number, and Colonel Edward Dorsey's sons, all were located upon the excellent tobacco lands of the Ridge. Even Colonel Edward and Hon. John left the attractions of the official life in Annapolis to seat themselves upon "Major's Choice" and "Troy Hill," near Waterloo.
Elk Ridge Landing, the first outlet for the settlers of Howard County, and the starting point of the dividing line from its mother county, is herein made my starting point to trace the tracts of land and families reared upon them.
ELK RIDGE LANDING.
At this northern terminus of Elk Ridge, overlooking in pictur- esque beauty the gorges of the Patapsco on the north, and spreading out to the east in a water-way which no longer exists, was early erected a Port of Entry to accommodate the tobacco growers of Upper Anne Arundel.

As early as 1746, it was a rival of Annapolis. In 1763 there were 1,695 hogsheads of tobacco, more than half of the crop in Anne Arundel County, inspected at Elk Ridge, and during the Revolution it was at the height of its usefulness. The great Northern and Southern Post Road ran through it. Into this highway other "roll- ing roads" entered.
Excellent iron-ore mines surrounded the Landing. The Ridge to the west offered magnificent sites for homes, and to this splendid business centre came the English factors, inspectors of tobacco and capitalists to develop the iron mines.
"Moore's Morning Choice" was one of its earliest surveys. It took in the commanding expanse three miles west of the landing.
It was a survey of Dr. Mordecai Moore, husband of Colonel Wm. Burgess' widow, who sold it to Caleb Dorsey of "Hockley," who transferred it to his son, Caleb. The latter saw his opportunity. Mines were opened, forges built, lands ten miles in extent were bought or surveyed; furnaces were erected and ships were sent laden with the output to the English markets.
In 1738 Caleb Dorsey built "Belmont," a house which is a his- tory in itself. The founder of the Landing was known as the rich iron merchant of Elk Ridge, and when he made his will, it was a revelation of a progressive age and a subject worthy of study.
Previous to the Revolution it was the custom to load tobacco of the planters in small bay ports, and in the creeks and rivers in front of large plantations, but after the Revolution the English "Factors," who had been located in Bladensburg, Calvert County, St. Mary's, Annapolis and Elk Ridge Landing, returned to England, leaving a profitable business to German and American tobacco merchants, who shipped their tobacco by small boats and by wagons to Baltimore, where, to-day, the venerable State warehouses, by their size, attest the importance of this provincial crop, which still gives employment to thousands of persons.
When the Ellicott brothers landed at Elk Ridge, just previous to the Revolution, they found the surrounding homesteads attrac- tive, adorned with gardens, fruits, graveled walks.
Henry Howard, Judge Richard Ridgely, Horatio Johnson, Nicholas Ridgely Warfield, all officials of the Port of Entry, held houses in the town.
With the receding of its water-way and the growth of Baltimore, "The Landing," as a business center, passed into history, leaving but meagre data of its once busy mart. To-day there are no relics of its taverns for the accommodation of the drivers; of its stables for the keep of their horses; of its tobacco warehouses, wherein were deposited the immense hogsheads which were rolled over those "rolling roads" from their starting point, at least twenty-five miles distant from "The Landing."
Elk Ridge Landing could have had no artists, else they would have left us pictures of the impromptu gatherings at our early Elk Ridge Landing; of the vessels; of the wharves; of the old houses

now lost to us. Fortunately for the historian, there are some land- marks remaining. Its founder built his house upon a rock and upon a hill which the floods could not destroy.
His forge at Avalon has gone with the tide, but "Belmont" stands, to-day, to teach us how he lived. From the pen of Dr. J. Williamson Palmer we get an interesting picture of it. It is after the old colonial type of the Province.
"In 1738 Caleb Dorsey built, with English brick brought over in his own vessels, the historic house of "Belmont," home of the Dorseys and the Hansons.
The walls of the hall and the drawing-room were paneled in oak and the grounds in front and rear were terraced in the large old English fashion, while boxwood in the garden, gigantic now, seems still to babble of the sweet old times, when Caleb and Priscilla set them out. Here, later, was the home of a man of great intellectual and moral force, who stamped upon the chronicles of his bailiwick the mark of his distinguished talents, his indomitable energy and his reckless courage. Alexander Contee Hanson, son of the Chancellor of Mary- land, editor of the "Federal Republican" and afterward United States Senator; staunch Federalist and frank opponent of Madison's admin- istration and of the War of 1812, was an undaunted champion of the freedom of the press, in defiance of the mobs and assassins in the State which was first of the American colonies to own a public press and employ it as an active engine of light and liberty, while the . Puritans of New England and Virginia abhorred it as an engine of the devil and would have none of it. In 1689 the Province of Mary- land had a public press at St. Mary's, which was kept busy with the printing of public documents, and no other colonies had one."
Caleb Dorsey's descendants still tell of the long hunts of this master of Belmont, upon one of which he met a young lady on horse- back, who kindly invited him to her father's residence for the night. The fox-hunter was so charmed that he frequently renewed the chase in the direction of the West River, and finally brought to Belmont the same young lady, Miss Priscilla Hill, as his bride; she was the daughter of Henry Hill and Mary Denwood, of West River.
It has been said, also, that "Caleb of Belmont" could ride ten miles in a straight line on his own lands; they extended from Curtis Creek to Ellicott's City and Clarksville pike, including the "Long Reach" of Major Edward Dorsey.
Caleb and Priscilla Dorsey's son, Henry Hill, married Eliza Goodwin; from these descend Judge Parkin Scott and Dr. Samuel Chew.
Samuel Dorsey (of Caleb) ran the forge during the Revolution and supplied guns and cannon for home defence. His wife was Mar- garet Sprigg. She survived him with three children, Edward Hill, Mary and Eleanor. She made Edward Dorsey (of Caleb) their guar- dian.
Edward'Hill Dorsey later appeared in several contests over the estate of his father. His wife was Elinor Pue, who bore him Mary-

William H. Freeman; James-Miss Welsh. Their heirs were, James, Dr. Robert Dorsey, late of Baltimore, and Mrs. Handy, of Richmond. Her daughter is a popular leader of society. The daughters of Samuel and Margaret Dorsey were Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Eleanor Dorsey, of Dorsey's Station.
Edward Dorsey (of Caleb) inherited " Belmont, " and, with his brother Samuel, ran the two forges at Avalon and Curtis Creek. His sale of the Curtis Creek property brought on several contests in the Court of Chancery. His wife, Elizabeth Dorsey (of Colonel John and Mary Hammond) was his cousin. Their daughters were Mary- Daniel Murray; Caroline-Johnson Donaldson; Priscilla-Alex- ander Contee Hanson. She inherited " Belmont."
Hammond Dorsey (of Edward) built his brick homestead, still standing, in sight of Relay. His wife was Elizabeth Pickering, of Massachusetts. Descendants of Edward Dorsey still reside at Elk Ridge.
Daniel Murray, the attorney, descends from Daniel Murray and Mary Dorsey. Daniel Murray, Sr., was the son of Dr. William Mur- ray and Sallie Maynadier, of Annapolis, whose daughter, Sally Scott, was the wife of Governor Edward Lloyd. Annie Murray became the wife of General John Mason, of Virginia.
The heirs of Daniel and Mary Dorsey were Dr. James Murray, West River; Sally Scott, wife of Dr. James Cheston; Mary-Dr. Worthington, and Colonel Edward Murray, U. S. A. and C. S. A.
The Murrays were descendants of Marquis John Murray, who came to the Barbadoes. His son, John, settled in Chestertown and married Ann Smith. Dr. William Murray (of John and Ann Smith) married Harriet Hesselius. The Murrays were connections of the Steuarts who can claim an unbroken line from Kenneth II. first King of Scotland. This Steuart family was represented by the late General George Hume Steuart, of South River, who held the homestead tract of Colonel William Burgess. General Steuart, genial and enter- taining, was the son of General George H. Steuart, of the War of 1812, whose house in Annapolis stood upon the present site of the Executive Mansion.
With Colonel Elzey and Major Bradley T. Johnson, young Steuart, a graduate of West Point, formed the First Maryland Regi- ment in the Confederate Army, and remained at the front until the surrender. His father, also, though too old for service, gave his experience to the Southern cause. Returning, he died soon after the surrender, at his son's residence, on West River.
+ Other Elk Ridge descendants of Edward of Belmont were Dr. Frank Donaldson and his brother Thomas Donaldson, the dignified, thoroughly equipped lawyer and scholar of "Lawyers Hill." The records at Ellicott City show that he held a large clientage. He was known as "the honest lawyer."
John J. Donaldson, successor and son, represented Howard in the Legislature and is now practising law in Baltimore.

Alexander Contee Hanson and Priscilla, his wife, had one son, named in honor of Mr. Hanson's brother-in-law, Honorable Charles Grosvenor, member of Congress.
Charles Grosvenor Hanson, of Belmont, married Maria Worth- ington. Their son, Hon. Grosvenor Hanson, has been a School Com- missioner of Howard County and has twice represented the county in the Maryland Legislature. He has also taken active interest in securing the bridge at Avalon. He is now a member of the Stock Commission. His brothers are Murray Hanson, Notary Public, and John Hanson, merchant, of Baltimore. Their sisters reside at Bel- mont.
The daughters of Caleb Dorsey, of Belmont, were Mary-Dr. Michael Pue, whose son Dr. Arthur Pue-Sarah, daughter of Thoma, Beale Dorsey, Jr., by Achsah Brown. Issue, Samuel, Williams Ventress, of Texas; Ferdinand Pue, of Highlands, and Robert, of Morgan's Station.
Milcah Dorsey, of Caleb, of Belmont-William Goodwin; Rebecca -Captain Charles Ridgely, of Hampton; Priscilla-Governor Charles Carnan Ridgely, of Hampton. Elinor inherited lands "above the forge" and died a maiden; Peggy Hill-William Buchanan. Large legacies were left to these daughters by Caleb, of Belmont, the iron merchant.
WATERLOO.
At this junction of the Northern and Southern Post Road with the Annapolis and Frederick road, stands the handsome home of Captain John R. King, now head of the Grand Army. Here was once located a famous inn, the successor of Spurrier's Tavern, which stood near there. Waterloo Inn was the central headquarters and popular resort for many years.
Nearby two distinguished brothers, Colonel Edward and Hon. John Dorsey, had seated themselves before 1700. Historic tracts were there located. They were "Troy Hill," "The Grecian Siege," "The Isle of Ely," "Major's Choice" and "Long Reach."
The first three were heired by Hon. John's grandson, Basil Dorsey, who inherited, also, 1,255 acres, known as "Caleb's Pur- chase." Here, still later, Colonel Thomas Dorsey (of Basil,) Field Officer of the Elk Ridge Militia, made his headquarters for rallying the Revolutionary patriots who were called to the aid of Annapolis.
Upon "Troy Hill," to-day, stands a large stone house with extensive barns and grounds. It is now the Pfeiffer property.
This estate under Basil Dorsey adjoined Caleb of "Belmont" and extended a mile or more along the Post Road, from Elk Ridge Landing to Spurrier's Tavern. Basil married Sarah, daughter of Thomas Worthington and Elizabeth Ridgely. Sarah Dorsey's in- heritance was a portion of "Worthington's Range," near Clarksville. Basil Dorsey was not content to limit his surveys to the neighborhood of Waterloo. Holding this extensive estate, he invested in lands in the neighborhood of Liberty, Frederick County, upon a portion of
343
FOUNDERS OF ANNE ARUNDEL AND HOWARD COUNTIES.
which were seated his three daughters, Elizabeth, wife of Ephraim Howard; Elinor, wife of Hon. Upton Sheredine, and Ariana, wife of Thomas Sollers. Basil Dorsey's youngest son, Dennis, died in early manhood and Colonel Thomas Dorsey heired most of his estate.
Mrs. Sarah Dorsey named her heirs, Basil Burgess, John Bur- gess and Sarah Burgess, children of Captain John Burgess by her daughter Sarah. She named her niece, Elizabeth Watkins, daughter of her sister Ariana. She appointed her son, Colonel Thomas Dorsey, and her son-in-law, Captain John Burgess, executors.
They sold, in 1789, to William Gaither other Frederick County tracts, known as "Pleasant Fields," "Woods Lot," "Chillum Castle" and "Friendship." They sold to Ephraim Howard "The Resurvey on Woods Lot."
Colonel Thomas Dorsey married two Ridgely cousins, both named Elizabeth. The first was the daughter of Colonel Henry Ridgely and Elizabeth Warfield; by her he had Captain Daniel Dorsey, of "The Flying Camp," referred to in the following letter: "To the President of the Council.
"SIR :- When the Elk Ridge Militia left this place for Annapolis, I promised to send down more on Sunday. Captain Daniel Dorsey's Company will certainly be down on that day and Captain Norwood's on the day following.
"Yr. most obedient servant, "THOMAS DORSEY."
Captain Daniel, a mere boy, fought through the war. He was with Colonel Carvil Halls' "Flying Camp." Returning after the war, he married his cousin, Eleanor, daughter of Ely and Deborah Dorsey; later removed to New York State, where he became judge and minister. He left a large family in Upper New York, named in " Warfield's of Maryland."
