Angelica Knoll The main occupation of the Angelica Knoll site most likely represents the residence of Richard Johns and his family and descendants. Johns acquired the property at some point between 1677 and 1717. Though the exact date is uncertain, the presence of pipes made by Llewellyn Evans at the site indicates that there must have been an occupation there by 1689. Richard Johns was a successful planter and a member of Maryland’s early Quaker community.... -- Jefferson Patterson Park

Cornehill "The 'Old Brick House' as it is sometimes called, stands on a tract called Cornhill granted to the early Quaker, Francis Billingsley, in 1663.  It is located on the main ridge of Calvert County and rain falling in the front yard flows into the Bay, whereas rain falling into the back yard flows into the Patuxent River.  One of the bricks of this house bears the date 1786 and the letters T.F., the initials of a member of the Freeland family who built it."  -- Charles Francis Stein

Huntingfields "George's Desire, now called Huntingfields, . . . has recently been restored by Mr. Townsend Scott, stands on land patented by Griffith George.  It later passed into the possession of the Ireland family.  The oldest part of the house dates from the late Seventeenth Century.  It is situated to the west of the highway north of Hunting Creek."  -- Charles Francis Stein
