Mecklenburg (ShepherdstOwn) then
in the county of Frederick, now in
Jefferson, was established by law in
the month of November, 1862. 1t
was laid off by Capt. Thomas Shep-
herd and was first settled chiefly by
German mechanics. 1t is remarkable

steamboat was ever constructed in the
world. Mr.. James Rumsey in the year
1888 built boat which was propelled
by steam against brisk current.

The garrison at Fort Cumberland
was frequently annoyed by the In
dians. There are two high knobs of
the mountain, one on the Virginia
side of the Cohongoruton on the south,
the other on the Maryland side on the
northeast, within short distance Of
the fort. Although the Indians sell
dom did any injury in this way, yet
it was disagreeabie and attended with
some danger.

On the banks of the Cohongoruton
(Potomac), there has doubtless been a
pretty considerable settlement. The
late Col. Joseph Swearingen's dwelling
house stands within circular wall
or moat. When first known by the
white inhabitants, the wall was about
Is inches high, and the ditch about
two feet deep. This circular wall was
made of earth, is now considerably re-
duced but yet plainly to be seen. 1t
is not more than half a mile from
Shepherdstown. For what particular
purpose this wall was thrown up
whether for ornament or defense, the
author can not pretend to form an
opinion. If it was intended for de-
fense, it appears to have been too
low to answer any purpose IN that
way. Major Henry Bedinger in
formed the author that at his first
recollection of this place, the wall or
moat was about IS inches high and
the ditch around it about two feet
deep. The wall was raised on the
outside of the ditch, and carefully
thrown up.
