Welcome to our website.
This site was created for family and friends and to honor our historical homesite located near Starner's Dam. This wonderful homestead came into our possession in 1999. At that time we could not fully appreciate the beauty and history which is called "Starner's Dam". Our knowledge is limited about this dam and the history behind it. We do have Deeds (some original) all the way back to April 15, 1801 when the property, including "an old fish dam" and "old mill house" was deeded from John and Catherine Myers of Adams County, PA to Peter Shellhouse of Frederick County, Maryland for the royal sum of 1200 pounds.
If anyone can contribute to our knowledge of this place, including historical data, personal stories or even how Starner's Dam came to be known as such, please contact us via email. We would appreciate any information.
Be sure and check out the picture section. We hope you enjoy the site! |
