Facts and Events
The Sunday Magazine, of The Washington Post, under date, November 27,1966, at pages 6 and 8, carried an interesting article titled, "Old Greenwood", subtitled, "A Montgomery County estate dating to 1720s is rich in history and decaying grandeur." "Greenwood", the article stated,was an original land grant dating back to 1720, but the house itself, was built about 1735 by Larkin Pierpont. This estate would have been then in Prince George's County, later in Frederick County, and finally in Montgomery County, and of course, the house would have been built after Charity died. The article went on to say that the estate contains an old cemetery surrounded by a rock wall, wherein are buried several of theformer owners ... and that Larkin Pierpont sold the place to his nephew, Thomas Davis, II, "eight years before the French and Indian War of 1747." |
