Additional commentary.
1. Rigbie House
Thank you for adding the photo of the Rigbie House marker. I've traveled in Harford, Baltimore Counties, and others, for genealogy. My great great grandfather, William Corse, of Furley Hall, Baltimore, was born in the Rigbie House in 1804. His grandmother was Cassandra Rigbie.
