Made available to The USGenWeb Archives by by Carol Jacobs (CelticC@aol.com) Located at 1900 North Point Road , in Baltimore County , Maryland.Take beltway e to exit 43 to route 20 follow for approximately 2 miles to Todd's Farm. Permisson was given by current owner to transcribe what tombstones were readable . There are three stones which are worn completely smooth they are said to be stones of slaves that lived on the property . But I could find nothing in the history of the house to confirm this. The estate of Todd's Inheritance sits on 43 acres of land which has recently been purchased along with the house by the state of Maryland . It is said that the state will make this in to a learning center of some sort .The original house was built in 1664 but was burned to the ground by the British in 1812 , in the Battle of North Point . The third floor window was used as a lookout for the British as they attacked Baltimore Harbor. The history of the house can be better researched at the Maryland Historical Society , 201 Monument Street in Baltimore City. Even though the estate was originally built by Thomas Todd and the cemetery is supposed to be the resting place of his family and many generations after , I could not find any evidence of Thomas Todd being buried there. These are the stones that were still readable: Todd Thomas B Jr. Mary M.
