- Hockley_Forge_and_Mill abstract "The Hockley Forge and Mill are a collection of colonial era industrial buildings along the Patapsco River near modern Elkridge, Maryland.The mill site is situated in a flat section of land along the Patapsco River valley with steep embankments on either side. This was the farthest upstream that the river was navigable by boat to the Chesapeake Bay and overseas markets. Over 30 industrial buildings occupied this area prior to the twentieth century. All of the buildings were susceptible to flooding from the river.The site was located along the "Old Indian Road" surveyed by Oliver Cromwell in 1734 where it forded the Patpsco River. The forge site was surveyed in 1760 by Edward Norwood and founded on 14 June 1760 by Charles Carroll of Carrollton as the "Baltimore Company The forge used slave labor to produce goods for colonial use that would otherwise would have had to been shipped from England. Other partners included Chareles Caroll of Duddington, Daniel and Walter Dulany, Charles Carroll (barrister) and Benjamin Tasker, Sr. who also operated two other forges. When the old Baltimore forge burned down in April 1772, slaves were sent to work at the Hockley Forge. In 1781 the state of Maryland seized ownership of the company once owned in part by two Dulany cousins who were loyal to the British. Dan Dulany of Baltimore owned a remaining interest in the forge, and wrote the state to reimburse him for the loss in value due to losses sustained by loyalists in the colonial war. He cited that at the time, the forge property contained 100 acres and was operated by 98 slaves valued at 40 pounds each. Forge work depended on a declining supply of coal and wood which idled the plant in 1783. In 1794 Christopher Johnston purchased the property and sold the equipment from the slitting mill to George Elliott for his upstream mill in 1807. The property was auctioned on 16 September 1819, renovated by the Carroll and Oliver families and resold in 1822. A large distillery operation was put into operation by John McKim Jr. which ceased by 1833 when the Thomas Viaduct construction began. The mill continued in operation by George T Worthington until a fire in 1856. The valley suffered a major flood in 1868 damaging the four story mill. The Levering family acquired the site and sold it in 1876 to the Viaduct Manufacturing Company. A street through the site is now named Levering Avenue. The Viaduct Company produced telegraph equipment onsite until 1914 when it was abandoned. Since 1914, The majority of the buildings have been demolished, dismantled or destroyed by fire or flood.".
