Copyvio? [edit]
The "History" section (added on March 4, 2005) is basically copied together from [1] (which existed already in 2004 according to the WayBack Machine) and [2] (also on-line at least since Oct 2004). Lupo 10:02, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
Furthermore, that copied history section is hopelessly confused about the identity of Andrew Ellicott. The surveyor (1754 - 1820) was the son of Joseph Elliott (1732 - 1780), who in turn had two brothers, John (1739 - 1794) and Andrew (1733 - 1809). The latter three founded Elicott's Mills. Their father Andrew (1708 - 1741) had immigrated from England. The surveyor also had a younger brother Joseph (1760 - 1826). Lupo 10:02, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, and the Joseph Ellicott is the wrong one, too. The one linked is the brother of Andrew (1754 - 1820, surveyor), not his father, who founded Ellicott's Mills. Lupo 10:58, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

- I solved this confusion between the different Andrews and Josephs, but I'm still worried about the copyvio. Lupo 10:48, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
Counting Crows [edit]
I think this is the location that the Counting Crows are singing from in the song "Raining in Baltimore". "It's raining in Baltimore, fifteen miles east" (though it also kind of sounds like "fifty"--it's hard to tell) ... I can't think of any other city they could be singing from. Just a random note.
