• Notes

  In 1757 when William Griffith died, his son Orlando Griffith continued to live on "Black Acre." In 1758 Orlando resurveyed the area, increasing its acreage to 708 acres and renaming it "Griffith's Chance." Ultimately he held 1,002 acres and land extending as far as today's Greenfield Mills. The little waterfalls in the Monocacy were known as Griffith Falls.
