Fort McHenry on the Patapsco River. An attack during the War of 1812 furnished the theme for the well-known words of the Star Spangled Banner by F.S. Key.
"Also part of a tract of land called 'Morgan's Delight' on north side of Patapsco River deeded in 1717 by Mary Stevenson to her daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Barney the first."
