Sarah Dorsey Meriweather (of Reuben) became Mrs. Thomas Beale Dorsey (of Caleb). Mary Meriweather became the wife of Westley Linthicum. He was the Anne Arundel representative of the "Glorious Nineteen Van Buren Electors," and left descendants in Charles W. Linthicum, of Clarksville, and George Washington Linthicum, of Roxbury.
Thomas Beale Dorsey Meriweather (of Reuben) inherited "Round About Hills." Through his wife, Miss Handy, he left Mrs. Dr. Augustus Riggs, of Cooksville; Mrs. Daniel Warfield, of "White Cottage," and Mrs. Dr. Lloyd T. Hammond, of the "Pine Orchard." Their son, Edward Hammond, represented Howard in the Legislature and

succeeded Judge Smith, the war judge of Howard, as Associate Judge of Howard County. Mrs. Dr. Wm. Magruder, of Brookeville, mother of Dr. William Magruder, of Sandy Spring, was a sister of Judge Hammond.
Mrs. Sarah Meriweather, after the marriage of her son, built upon property bought of Captain Philemon Dorsey. This estate was sold by her executors, Dr. Lloyd T. Hammond and Daniel Warfield, to Samuel Owings (of Thomas). It is now the property of Hon. Humphrey Dorsey Wolfe.
Thomas Beale Dorsey Meriweather exchanged his inheritance with Mr. Thomas Cook, of Cooksville, and resided there. It was later bought by Dr. Augustus Riggs, and is still held by his heirs.
CALEB DORSEY OF "ARCADIA."
Caleb Dorsey was a progressive surveyor; his signature, “Caleb Dorsey, of Thomas," appears upon numerous transfers in real estate, but he left four sons who surpassed him.
Caleb, of "Arcadia," married Elizabeth Worthington. Her mother was Susannah Worthington, nee Susannah Hood, sister of Zachariah Hood, the stamp agent of the revolution. Susannah Hood's mother was Elizabeth Maccubin (of Zachariah and Susannah Nicholson, daughter of Nicholas Nicholson and Hester Larkin and granddaughter of Sir John Nicholson, of Scotland). Zachariah Maccubin, son of John and Elinor Maccubin, claimed to descend from the McAlpines, who were descendants of Kenneth, first King of Scotland. Caleb and Elizabeth, of "Arcadia," had Mrs. Susan Brooks, Mrs. Sarah Waring and Mrs. Jacob Baer.
Caleb Dorsey, Jr., bought the homestead of "Patuxent John Dorsey" at Columbia, and married Ann Howard (of Captain Brice). Charles W. Dorsey bought the western part of the same tract. He built the old brick house upon the pike west of " Arcadia" and there resided. His wife was Mary Tolley Worthington (of Walter and Sarah Hood [of John and Hannah Barnes], of "Bowling Green"). Their daughters, Sally Ann and Mary Tolley, became wives of Governor Ligon; Comfort Augusta became Mrs. James Mackubin; Elizabeth became Mrs. William H. G. Dorsey.
John Worthington Dorsey (of Caleb) bought an elegant body of land near the Old Brick Church. He brought his wife from Major Philip Hammond's Manor, near Gambrill's Station. She was Mary Ann Hammond, who inherited the present property of Mr. Bond, near Millersville,. The late Judge Reuben M. Dorsey ; Caleb, of California, Charles W. Dorsey, of the Confederate Home; Mrs. Levin Gale, Mrs. Dr. Mackey and Mrs. Benjamin Cook, of Virginia, were heirs.
Reuben Meriweather Dorsey, the richest of all, lived upon the old home tract, "Arcadia." He married Sally Meriweather, whose mother was Rachel Howard, whose mother was Rachel Worthington, whose mother was Elizabeth Ridgely. Reuben Dorsey's daughter, Ann Elizabeth-William Bose Dobbin, progenitor of Judge Dobbin and his son, Hon. Robert Dobbin, of Howard, late School Commissioner;

Josephine-Anthony Johnson, now represented by Thomas M. John son, of the present School Board; Sally Meriweather (of Reuben)-Dr. Samuel Owings Rogers. Their sons are Hon. John Gough Rogers and Reuben Dorsey Rogers. The second wife of Reuben M. Dorsey was Achsah Riggs Dorsey (of Thomas Beale and Achsah Riggs Brown).
COLONEL JOHN WORTHINGTON DORSEY OF THE REVOLUTION.
This second son of Thomas Beale and Ann commanded an Elk Ridge company in the Maryland Line, frequently mentioned in our archives. His estate was near the Old Frederick Road, north of Caleb Dorsey's. Colonel Dorsey married Comfort Worthington (of Samuel). Chief Justice Thomas Beale Dorsey, Caleb and Edward, of Kentucky ; Colonel Charles Samuel Worthington and bachelor John Worthington Dorsey, Jr., were his sons.
The land records of Howard are strong evidences of the large practice held by Judge Dorsey. His signature in bold hand was "Thomas Beale Dorsey of John." An able jurist, his opinions were sought in leading contests. When called to preside as Chief Justice at Annapolis, he made the journey daily on horseback. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1851. Through his efforts Howard District was erected into Howard County. Judge Dorsey's wife was Milcah Goodwin, a granddaughter of Caleb Dorsey, of Belmont. Their daughter, Rebecca Comfort, became Mrs. Allen Bowie Davis, of "Greenwood;" Samuel Worthington Dorsey removed to Louisiana and married Sarah Ann Ellis, of Mississippi. They lost heavily during the Civil War. Mrs. Dorsey presented "Beauvoir" to Ex-President Jefferson Davis; after his death Mrs. Davis returned the estate to Misses Comfort and Mary Dorsey, of Ellicott City, including rare household articles. They are the daughters of Attorney William Henry Goodwin Dorsey, who built the Macguire homestead, now owned by Mr. Richard H. Cromwell. Attorney William H. G. Dorsey married, first, Elizabeth Worthington Dorsey (of Charles Worthington Dorsey), and, second, Comfort Worthington Dorsey (of Colonel Charles Samuel Worthington Dorsey).
John Thomas Beale Dorsey, third son of Chief Justice Dorsey, was a candidate for Judge of Howard Circuit. He held the home- stead and during his absence in the Southern Confederacy it was sacrificed. He was three times married-first, to Sarah Ann Harrison; second, to Mary Campbell Harris; third, to Kate Mason, daughter of Judge James Mason, Confederate Commissioner to the English Court. Two daughters survive and reside in Washington. Mr. Dorsey was tall, distinguished looking, an accomplished talker with ready wit.
Caleb Dorsey, brother of Judge Dorsey, married Miss Taylor, of Kentucky, and died there.
Edward Dorsey, his brother, married Ellen Brown (of Moses) and in 1830 removed to St. Louis. His daughters were Mrs. Gilchrist Porter and the wife of Senator Broadhead, of Missouri.

Bachelor John W. Dorsey, Jr., conveyed "Rebecca's Lot" to Patrick Crowley. It began at the given line of a conveyance from his brother Edward W. Dorsey, at a corner between the lands of John G. Rogers and Mrs. Commodore Mayo, to a corner of John T. B. Dorseys. He sold another part of "Rebecca's Lot" at the tollgate to John Burgess.
Charles S. W. Dorsey (of Colonel John) married Mary Pue Ridgely (of General Ridgely) and left Comfort Dorsey and Rebecca Hanson, wife of Colonel George R. Gaither, Charles Ridgely Dorsey, attorney; John W. Dorsey, attorney and ex-member of the School Board, and Samuel W. Dorsey, of Baltimore, are sons.
Thomas Beale Dorsey, Jr., of "Gray Rock," located upon the south side of the Frederick Pike. His estate is Herbert's. He was twice married-first, to Achsah Dorsey (of Samuel), by whom he had Samuel; second, to Achsah Brown (of Samuel), by whom he had Achsah Riggs Dorsey, second wife of Reuben M. Dorsey, and Mrs. Sally Pue, wife of Dr. Arthur Pue. They had William, Ventress, Samuel, Ferdinand and Robert Pue. Three of these brothers removed to Texas. Ferdinand and Robert Pue remain in Howard. The former is a member of the vestry of Christ Church at Highland; the latter of the Episcopal Church at Poplar Spring. Thomas Beale and Achsah Brown Dorsey had one son, Thomas Beale Dorsey, Jr. "Gray Rock" was sold by Mr. Reuben Dorsey.
SETTLEMENT OF ELLICOTT'S MILLS.
Three years before the beginning of the Revolutionary War Joseph, John and Andrew Ellicott purchased lands on both sides of the Patapsco four miles in extent, including all water power two miles above and two below the mills. The exact amount of land covered cannot now be ascertained. These brothers were descendants of an old Devonshire family in England, who were in possession of their estate when the Conqueror came. They were sons of Andrew Ellicott, who came to Pennsylvania in 1730. Having journeyed over the middle counties of the province of Maryland to ascertain their adaptability for growing wheat, they were favorably impressed and concluded to locate upon the Patapsco. All of their stock and implements were put on board of a vessel at Philadelphia and were taken down the Delaware to New Castle and there landed. Wagons and carts forming a part of their outfit were then loaded and driven across the Peninsula to the head of Elk River, where they were again embarked on a vessel, which, by way of the Chesapeake and Patapsco, brought them to Elk Ridge Landing, then called Patapsco. There they were finally discharged; the wagons and carts were again landed, and moved over the rough and narrow country road to within one mile of their destination. Here they were obliged to stop on account of the rocks and precipices. Unloading their contents, parties of men with hand-barrows carried them to their journey's end, then known as "The Hollow."

By the harvest time of 1774 a house 100 feet long, with spacious chambers for storage, was finished, and with it a small village of com- fortable houses had also been raised up. This first building was destroyed by fire in 1809. Upon the completion of the workmen's cabin, a saw-mill was the next object for securing the necessary lumber for the buildings. Quarries of granite immediately on the ground were next opened. All the implements, except some crow- bars gotten from Dorsey's Forge, at Avalon, were brought from Penn- sylvania. The whole valley was then a wilderness covered with great trees, centuries in age. The undergrowth was so thick a path had to be cut through to explore the ground. Small game of every kind dwelt therein, whilst upon the more open ground great herds of deer and flocks of wild turkeys frequently were seen. Shad and her- ring were caught in the Patapsco as far west as Elysville. Paths of the Indians were clearly traceable until 1828. Stone tomahawks, stone axes and arrow-points were so abundant where the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad office now stands, the presumption is that a great Indian battle had there been fought near the spring with its over- shadowing trees.
In 1774 the Ellicott brothers were ready to grind wheat. Their books show that William Lux Bowly bought on December 4th, 1774, 100 barrels of flour, at seventeen shillings and charges; December 13th, 100 barrels, and on the 20th, 100 barrels more.
Bowly's warehouse was at Elk Ridge Landing, where beautiful residences, with handsome grounds, flower gardens and gravel walks were built immediately after the war.
The cost of living at that time may also be seen by Ellicotts' books. Bacon sold, per pound, at two shillings six pence; turkeys, four pence per pound; chickens, four pence; butter nine pence; beef and pork, three pence; wages, twenty pence per day. To grow wheat for their mill these pioneers had to cut down the forests upon the hills, clear out the stumps, plow and sow in order to set object lessons for their neighbors.
The "Elk Ridge" and "Upton" Hundreds were unwilling to give up their tobacco crops for wheat. They had their hand-mills for grinding corn for their negroes, and they looked with suspicion upon the Quakers and their new mills on the Patapsco, but the Ellicotts, believing that "a demand will create a supply," kept on offering a fair price for wheat.
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, was then at Doughoregan Manor, and though the richest capitalist in the province, he saw that his revenues could be increased by cultivating wheat, and at once changed his methods upon both manors. He was ready, too, to encourage the new millers by loaning them money for the development of their enterprise. He was then about the only banker of that day. To his manor the Ellicotts built a road at their own expense. Beyond that, to reach the upper Manor of Carrollton, near Frederick, the planters along the route willingly helped them. A house on wheels was built

for the workmen. It was drawn by horses from place to place. It had a kitchen for cooking everything but bread; this was supplied and forwarded from their mills.
The men who worked on this road were all from Pennsylvania. When the firm had completed their buildings and stabling which accomodated eighty horses, they next turned their attention to building a school for the neighborhood. The last building in the village before 1790 was their warehouse and store. This was located directly opposite the mill and immediately on the road from Balti- more to Frederick. This work was done by Maryland masons-the Spicers, of Harford County. Externally it remains as it was built, but it is now a dwelling for private families.
The Ellicotts sent agents to New York and Philadelphia, who bought goods and shipped them via Elk Ridge Landing. They dealt in linens, diapers, silks, satins, brocades, India china, dinner and tea sets, mirrors, glassware, mathematical instruments, ironware, gro- ceries, liquors and wines. After our Independence they sent Samuel Godfrey, an English partner, to London for importation of their goods. Influential men for miles congregated at their store and post- office. They brought their wheat in exchange for purchases. There political and even scientific questions were discussed, and there these intelligent Quaker brothers were always courteous with becoming gravity. They kept their roads in repair by means of "wheel-barrow men," men who had been convicted of minor crimes. These labored in small companies under an overseer, who wore his side arms and carried his musket. Depots, built of logs, were set up several miles apart, where their meals were prepared. At night they were locked up in their quarters. One of these depots, five miles from Baltimore, was standing in 1831. It was pointed out as the spot where an over- seer, on two occasions, had been murdered by the men under charge.
Before 1783 the supply of wheat from Anne Arundel and Fred- erick Counties had so much increased the Ellicotts determined to export their flour. They purchased a lot and built their first wharf at Pratt and Light streets from logs cut at Curtis Creek. Daily communications between Ellicott's Mills and Baltimore were had by wagons loaded with flour.
The road made by the Ellicotts was the beginning of a still greater enterprise-the great highway to the West. This road is the only highway of its kind wholly constructed by the Government and was, says an interesting treatise upon it, what the "Appian Way" was to Rome. The conception of that gigantic work was by Albert Gallatin, the Swiss, when Secretary of the Treasury under Jefferson. Its cost was nearly seven millions of dollars, and when finished traversed seven States and extended eight hundred miles. One example of its value in building up the West, and thereby increasing the growth of the East, is shown in the fact that one single house in Wheeling, in 1812, unloaded 1,081 wagons, averaging 3,500 pounds each, and paid for the transportation of the goods the sum of $90,000. Another example of what could be done by a six-horse team was

related by the late Johns Hopkins. In 1838 he engaged Daniel Barcus to haul a load of merchandise weighing 8,300 pounds from his store, corner of Pratt and Light streets, to Mount Vernon, Ohio. He deliv- ered the goods in good condition at the end of thirty days from the date of his departure from Baltimore, the distance being 397 miles. Mr. Hopkins paid him $4.25 per hundred. On the return trip he loaded 7,200 pounds of Ohio tobacco, at $2.75 per hundred, in hogsheads.
Following the War of 1812 there was a great westward move- ment in Maryland. The war had brought disaster to many planters. Selling their lands for whatever they could get, they moved by wagons over the new road to richer lands of the West. Every cross-road had its wayside inn for the accommodation of the almost unbroken travel of the two decades from 1820 to 1840.
General La Fayette made his triumphal procession over it in 1825.
The Ellicotts also encouraged fruit growing by starting nurseries, which supplied trees to their neighbors free of cost. Practical irrigation was also taught by them. To keep their wheat fields moist in dry seasons they dug reservoirs, which by ditches carried the water to their fields.
When the war had ended in giving us a State Government these peaceful Quakers were ready to give advice to lawmakers.
Leaving the mills at night, they would ride on horseback to Annapolis, a distance of thirty-two miles, to breakfast. After spend- ing the day they would return at night. When they came to Maryland the only passable public roads for wheeled vehicles were from Fred- erick to Baltimore and from Frederick to Annapolis.
The Old Frederick Road passed over the Patapsco, three miles above Ellicott's Mills, at Hollofields. It was used for an outlet for flaxseed and domestic produce of Frederick County as early as 1760.
A road from Sandy Spring touched the Old Frederick Road at Porter's Tavern, eighteen miles west of Baltimore. The Ellicotts by their enterprise changed the travel, after 1805, to the present bed of the pike. There were other "bridle-paths" and "rolling roads," very winding, to avoid the hills in getting their tobacco to market.
When they came to Ellicott's Mills the Quakers had a meeting- house near Elk Ridge Landing, about a mile from Ilchester. The Pierpoints, Haywards, Reads and Ellicotts were members.
To accommodate the people of their immediate neighborhood, as well as themselves, they built a meeting-house of stone on Quaker Hill, now in the centre of the town. This they presented to the Quakers of Baltimore. The deed covered four acres for a burial-ground and was dated 1800. Soon after that the old Elk Ridge house was abandoned. William Hayward an esteemed minister of the society lived for many years in walking distance of the old meeting-house at Elk Ridge. He was their only minister. There his daughter Elizabeth and her chosen partner, James Gillingham, rode on horse- back to be married, and there assembled in silence, after his departure, the remaining members of the faith.

To the Ellicotts the County of Howard owes another debt. The cultivation of tobacco had discouraged many of their neighbors. The Dorseys, Worthingtons, Ridgelys and Meriweathers were seriously contemplating a removal to the more fertile soils in Ken- tucky and Tennessee, but when they saw the marked benefits shown in the experiments made upon the Ellicott's estate, by using plaster, they decided to give it a trial. The Ellicotts built a mill for grinding the Nova Scotia stone which they imported and prepared for their neighbors. This led to increased crops of clover and restoration of worn-out lands. In 1808 they sold nearly nine hundred acres, two miles in extent, to the Union Manufacturing Company of Maryland. A large manufacturing village grew up.
A tanyard was erected by Samuel Smith upon another site purchased of them. They leased lands to Joseph Atkinson in 1804 for an oil mill. They established in 1806 iron works for rolling and slitting bars, making rails on a large scale. To this was added later other mills for sheathing copper. The skilled laborers were mostly people from Wales.
In 1825 the population of the different manufacturing plants reached three thousand. In 1774 Joseph Ellicott withdrew from the firm and purchased the old Hood Mill at Hollofields. This he tore down and put up another with the latest inventions of his own. He built a storehouse for merchandise, stables for horses, houses for his laborers and a dwelling for himself. This was a model of comfort. He filled his garden with rare and beautiful plants, in the midst of which he placed a fountain, which sent a stream ten feet high, falling into a pond filled with fish. His four-faced clock, his own invention, represented on one face the sun, moon and planets moving in different orbits. On another were hands designating minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years. On a third face twenty-four tunes of ante- Revolutionary music were played. It was constructed in 1769 by Joseph Ellicott and his son Andrew, afterward Professor of Mathe- matics at West Point. Another clock was placed in the gable of his house, to serve as a guide to travelers on their way from Frederick to Baltimore.
Over this road that passed Hollofields goods were first carried on pack-horses. It was followed later by immense wagons drawn by eight horses. A glance at Hollofields to-day shows no signs of its past advancement.
The site of Patapsco Institute was a free gift from the Ellicott's for an educational institution, which for a number of years shed its commanding light into many Southern homes. Upon Quaker Hill rest these sturdy settlers who gave life and form to the wilderness. . For years the old Quaker Meeting-House had been deserted, but recently a descendant has rescued it and preserved its honored remains. All of these enterprises were organized whilst this section was still a part of Anne Arundel County.

CHARLES CARROLL, OF DOUHHOREGAN.
Charles Carroll, the emigrant, came to Maryland October 1, 1688. The Protestant Revolution was at hand, which resluted, next year, in the overthrow of the lord proprietor who had appointed him his Attorney-General. When Sir Lionel Copley was Governor, represent- ing the King, who had taken possession of the province, he charged Mr. Carroll with disloyalty and still held him in prison. After the restoration of the Protestant Charles Calvert, in 1715, Mr. Carroll was appointed Judge and Register of the Land Office, succeeding Colonel Henry Darnall, his father-in-law. The position was higher than that of Governor Hart, who, also, represented the youthful proprietor.
Mr. Carroll was granted an extensive estate, consisting of "Car- roll's Forest," 500 acres in Prince George's County, in 1689; "Ely O'Carroll," 1,000 acres in Baltimore County, in 1695; "Litterlouna," 400 acres in Baltimore County; "New Year's Gift," 1,300 acres, at Elk Ridge (afterward held by Caleb Dorsey [of Hochley] upon which tract the Old Brick Church stands to-day).
In 1701 he resurveyed his tracts of land in Baltimore County, which then embraced 1,969 acres. In 1707 he added "Clynmalyra," of 5,000 acres, and that same year was granted his princely domain of 10,000 acres of "Doughoregan Manor." He also owned "Enfield Chase, " in Prince George's, and still later increased his estate to 60,000 acres. In one of Lord Baltimore's grants he wished Mr. Carroll to locate" as near as possible to my manors for the benefit of his society," and to enable Mr. Carroll to be of service in the province. A small brick house and two lots in the port of Annapolis were granted him; this was the property of a widow, whom Mr. Carroll paid for her claim.
Charles Carroll was temporarily Surveyor-General. His com- mission, in 1716, included also Naval Officer. He married, first, in America, Martha Underwood, daughter of Anthony, of St. Mary's County; she died in 1690. In 1693 he married Mary Darnall, the fifteen-year-old daughter of Colonel Henry Darnall, of "Portland Manor," by his wife, Elinor Hatton, widow of Major Thomas Brooke, of " Brookefield." Five of their ten children survived, three sons and two daughters. Their oldest son, Henry, died at sea on returning from school at St. Omers. Charles Carroll, Jr., born 1702, became the heir-at-law. His younger brother, Daniel, born 1707, married Ann Rozier, of "Notley Hall" and became the progenitor of the Carrolls, of Duddington, Prince George's County, now in Washington City. The old mansion was torn down some years ago.
Charles Carroll, the immigrant, was in England at the time of the death of Lord Baltimore, the second, and became the attorney of Lady Baltimore. On returning, in 1718, he made his will, which was probated in 1720. His three sons, Henry (then living), Charles and Daniel, were made executors. During the absence of the two remaining sons in Europe the estate was managed by James Carroll and Madam Mary Carroll. In 1729 Charles and Daniel Carroll sold sixty acres for the site of Baltimore City.

To distinguish him, Charles Carroll was known as Charles Carroll, of Annapolis. His only son was Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, born in 1737, whose mother was Elizabeth Brooke, daughter of Clement Brooke and Jane Sewall, daughter of Colonel Nicholas and Susannah Sewall. He was the stepson of the second Lord Baltimore and she was the daughter of Colonel William Burgess by Mrs. Ewen. Mrs. Carroll was, therefore, a relative of her husband on both sides.
