It is said that by the year 174O,
after 100 years of cultivation, and
that mostly in tobacco which is
very destructive to fertility, the
soil, in the older settlements of
Maryland, had become very poor.
The search for better land was
no doubt a strong factor in the
extension of settlements to the
West and into the Potomac Val
ley of Frederick and later Wash
ington County. The lands along
the Antietam and Conococheague
were found to be very fertile,
while the lure of hunting the
beaver and other fur bearing ami
mails as we'll as the quest for min
erals attracted many to the North
Mountain section. These brought
persons of intellectual power and
social standing into the area. A
study of the list of the first land
grants reveals the names of
many remarkable characters. It
is the writer's belief that few other
early settlement communities had
so large a proportion of highly in
telligent and strong personalities.
The people of the older settle
ments were much impressed by
the apparent resources of the
newer lands, so much so that not
only were the people in the ordin-
airy stations of life attracted but
also persons of education and
property came into the section,
among them some of the most
remarkable persons in the history
Of the State. 1t is certain that
Thomas Johnson, Jr., made his
home for at least Ii years in what
is now Washington County. Com
ing to the Green Spring Furnace
section in 1859, he and his part
ner, Lancelot Jacques. ST., were
interested in the iron deposits at
that place. They built the furnace
there which went into production
in 1878, in time to furnish iron
for cannon in the Revolutionary
War. He became later one of the
great, if not the greatest citizen
of Maryland, being a member of
the Continental Congress, and the
member who made the motion to
elect General George Washington
commander in chief of all the ar

mics of the Colonies. Later he
became the first constitutional
Governor of Maryland, Justice of
the Supreme Court of the U. S.,
during Washington's administra-
ton, and held other distinguished
posts.
Thomas Cresap was, in his way
a most remarkable character. His
energy and activity were unbound
ed. Settling first at Long Mea-
dow and later at Old Town, Md,
by trade he amassed a large for
tune, having property in all parts
of the State of Maryland and
elsewhere. He is said to have
owned large number of excel
lent riding horses. He kept them
at different places so that riding
in relays he could go from one of
his places to another, visiting
them all in two or three days,
stretched out as they were from
Sugar Loaf Mountain in Mont
gomery County to points west of
the Ohio River. He was also of
invaluable aid to the settlers dur
ing the French and Indian War.

the hands of God. Mighty are the

Israel through the human instru-
