There are Harness' here in Oldtown. Md. (across from Green Spring, WV) they are buried on their Plantation they had w/ slaves on the Potomac. Longs now own some of it. I lease the other part for my cattle. This is directly across from where the South Branch emptys into the Potomac, on Arnold Stickley road, with French's Neck being right up from it.
