Abstract
Extensively traces of changing patterns of agriculture and food consumption from the Native American palette of local, seasonal foods through the introduction of European and African crops requiring accommodation to land and climate, fishing and dairying, the family farm and kitchen garden, growth of plantations, the marketplace, food preparation and recipes, celebratory and communal meals.
Major Samuel Magruder's mill at Cabin John Creek acquired by son Patrick. Much litigation ensued, excerpts from the testimony of ownership disputes and liability for the death of slaves hired to work the site. Lily Moore Stone, a descendant, developed the property to become Stoneyhurst Quarry, bringing quarrying to the county and founded MCHS.
