including the furnace, forge and other i'm
provements, were purchased by Colonel
Samuel Hughes, Edwin Cole, Richard
Potts and others. Soon afterwards, a blast
furnace was erected a few hundred yards
south of the original furnace site, also a
boring mill on the site of the old forge,
about five hundred yards north OF the fur
mace. y grist mil! and tenement houses
were also erected. One timber of the upper
dam still remains in the bottom of the
creek
The furnace, during Col. Hughes owner
ship, was engaged in making cannon, can
non balls, hollow ware, etc Guns, as large
as % Founders. were cast there, and having
been bored, proved, and finished, were
shipped to the Government at different
points, some being drawn by horses to
| Pittsburg. During the war of 1912. the
fact that he had thus supplied the Govern
ment with many cannon made Col. Hughes
and the furnace property a mark for the
British. When C0ckburil 5 feet was cruis,
ing at the head of Chesa peake Bay. he
came up the Principle creek in barges,
with il portion of his command and landed

and spiking the rest, making all unfit for
service, with the remark that the Ameri-

the slightest attempt having been made to
defend such valuable material of war.
They then burned the boring mill, furnace,
coal house. grist mill, and bridge across
Principe creek on the post road.
After the close of the war, Col. Hughes
partially repaired the furnace, and some of
the surroundings, but being sadly wrecked
financially he carried it on only two or
three years and then abandoned it. From
old castings which have been found ard
are yet in existence, it seems that he called
the furnace " Cecil = furnace. He was re.

heavy mortgage, given by him against
the Principle property, was held by Messrs.
smith and Gilmour. of Baltimore, under
which mortgage it was sold about 1854 to
David Stewart and others, of Baltimore
who held it until June, 1886. when it was
purchased by George p. Whitaker, Thos
Garrett, Jos. Whitaker and others. They
found innu'nerable squatters, with their
log cabins, on different parts of the proper
ty, the furnace surroundings all lying out
as commons, and the buildings either rotted
or pulled down. They at once commenced
the erection of furnace buildings and tene-
ments, cutting and coaling wood. and got
the furnace into blast early in 1887. 1t
has been i'll almost constant operation ever
since.

He also purchased on his private account
several other tracts of land, including
"Russell's Union,'' or about two thousand
acres in all. Here he passed the short re-
mainder of his life, an honored, useful, and
public-spirited citizen. He was engaged
in various schemes which tended to public
welfare as well as private emoument,
among them being the Susquehanna canal,
from the Pennsylvania line TO tide water at
Port Deposit, which is now entirely de-
