the Nanderwerken buses between
Washington and Georgetown. 1t is in
teresting to recall that while the buses
were running in the streets or the
roadways of Washington there was
regular passenger traffic on barges on the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal between
Georgetown and Harpers Ferry. That was
long before the Metropolitan branch of
the Baltimore and Ohio was built.
Harpers Ferry could be reached by
stage coach and the time made was
better than by barge. but the canal
trip offered certain inducements to
travellers.
In the years just before and after
1850 there was a canal packet line, the
boats being drawn by relays of two
horses, which operated between Wash
ington and Harpers Ferry, and the at
tention of the Rambler has been called
to the following advertisement which
appeared in some of the Washington
newspapers:

The first Of the Loughboroughs to
settle in this vicinity was Nathan
Loughborough He came from Fairfax
county. Va. before the capital came
to the banks of the Potomac river. His
father was David Loughborough and
you can find the name in early chron-
icles of Virginia. Nathan, by inher
ltance and purchase. came to be the
owner of large tracts of land in Fair
fax county. Va. and Prince Georges
county. Md. and he held a tract of 5000
acres in Nelson county, Va. He bought
the land on which the Rambler is jot-
ting down these notes. There was then
on it a small house. and that house still
stands and forms the eastern section of
the present structure. BY reference to
the picture you can mark it by the
covered porch across its front. The
story is that it was trading post
when this part Of the country was the
wild west of the United States and
there were buffalo wallows and Indian
villages where Washingtonians have
villas. The house was built some time
before 1900. but the Rambler is not in
possession of the precise date.
Nathan Loughboroughs first wife was
Mary Webster and they had large
family, which was one of the happy
customs of the times. There were ten
or twelve children and Nathan built an
addition to the house out of native Po-
tomac bluestone. That addition is now

that neiGhborhood. The only facts
that the Rambler thus tar has concern
ing this lady are that she was Miss
Dunlop. a sister of Judge Duniop and
a sreataunt Of Judge Peter of George
town. Nathan died at i great age in
1851 or 1852 and left his widow a life
estate i'll his District and Maryland
property. Dne~of his sons was Hamil-
ton Louehborough and he inherited the
property on which the American Uni
verSity stands and on which this old
stone house stands. He married a Miss

brother was once IL representative in
