By act of the Virginia House of Burgesses 1744, a ferry was established extending from the mouth of Canagochego Creek in Maryland across the Potowmack to the Evan Watkins landing, about 250 yards southeast. This landing was also the entrance of Braddock's Road into what is now Berkeley County, West Virginia, where Washington and Braddock crossed in 1755 on their way to Fort Duquesne. To the northeast is Maidstone-on-the-Potomac, home of Evan Watkins, 1744.
