 | | At the north end of the Morris Reserve, a 87,000 acre triangular shaped tract (the "The Triangle Tract") was sold by Morris to Herman Leroy, William Bayard and John McEvers, while a 100,000 tract due west of the Triangle Tract was sold to the state of Connecticut. |
 | | On November 8, 1803, The Pulteney Association sold the 100-Acre Tract for $1,750, on a five-year land contract, to Col. Nathaniel Rochester(1752-1831), Maj. Charles Carroll, and Col. William Fitzhugh, all of Hagerstown, Maryland. |
 | | Although Col. Rochester and his two partners purchased the 100-Acre Tract, they allowed the millsite to lie neglected and development did not begin in earnest until 1811, when they finally completed paying for their purchase and received the deed. |
