Plantation AnalysisThis chapter provides a discussion of existing antebellumplantations in Prince George’s County by integrating thearchitectural, archeological, and historical research relevant to anunderstanding of the agriculture and slavery in the county. Subsections areorganized temporally; the temporal divisions correlate with those outlined in“Agriculture and Slavery: A Context for Prince George’s County, Maryland.”Each subsection addresses important aspects of plantation organizationand includes a discussion of architecture, slave quarters, and slave burials.“Architecture” refers to the type and function of agricultural structuresnecessary for the operation of plantations of various slaveholding sizesas defined in “Agriculture and Slavery.” Although they are an importantcomponent of plantation architecture, “slave quarters” are discussedseparately because of the cultural (in addition to functional) complexitiesassociated with their use. This discussion examines the known types anddistribution of slave housing across time on the variously sized plantations.The “slave burial” subsection discusses the nature and distribution of slaveburials across temporal periods and between plantations of different sizes.Each section concludes with a “Summary” pertaining to each time periodand plantation size.Early Period—1696–1730The period extending from 1696 to 1730 is the least documented of thethree temporal divisions investigated. For this period, the analysis of theorganization and operation of plantations is based on the few examples ofperiod plantations that remain on the landscape today. Most structures fromthe Early Period, including the plantation house, utilized post-in-groundarchitecture and did not survive into the twentieth century. Archeologicalevidence derives primarily from limited investigations conducted on andimmediately around the manor houses and includes information on spatiallayouts and the material culture associated with these early historicalsites. In addition to the archeological record, primary records, such asprobate inventories, can be used to infer plantation activities through theirdescriptions of tools and chattel, including slaves, for which they account.Although these records do not specifically detail spatial relationships, theynonetheless provide valuable information regarding plantation operationsand the types of ancillary structures necessary to support or house theinventoried goods.
Plantation ArchitectureA total of 12 known Prince George’s County plantations were constructedduring the Early Period (Figure 20, also Table 8): Fair Running (PG:71B-15, a.k.a., Issac’s Discovery) Northampton (PG:73-12) Dunblane (PG:78-10) Melwood Park* (PG:78-15) Oxon Hill Manor (PG:80-1) Battersea/Harmony Hall (PG:80-11) Want Water (PG:80-24) Bellefields* (PG:82A-26, a.k.a., Simm’s Delight) Darnall’s Delight (PG:82A-41, a.k.a. the Woodyard) Billingsley* (PG:82B-3) Anchovie Hills (PG:87A-17) Elizabeth’s Delight (M:37-5)* Denotes all or portion of original, Early Period structure remains standingA gas explosion in 1969 destroyed Dunblane. The original 1710 OxonHill Manor house burned in 1895; the current Oxon Hill manor house wasconstructed in 1929. The house at Darnall’s Delight, which dates to the latenineteenth century, was found to be in dilapidated condition as of 1982;currently Darnall’s Delight exists only as an archeological site. The plantationhouse at Elizabeth’s Delight is located within Montgomery County although thelandholdings extend into Prince George’s County.The remains of the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries WantWater and Northampton plantation houses exist only as archeological sites.The remains of two suspected slave quarters located on the Northampton sitedate to the early or middle part of the nineteenth century (see section “SlaveQuarters”). Fair Running has been extensively altered. Finally, althoughpopularly believed to date to 1723, the house at Harmony Hall likely datesto the middle or late eighteenth century based on recent historic research(Sonderman et al. 1993:11-13). Nonetheless, archeological excavation identifiedearly-eighteenth-century and possible late-seventeenth-century depositssuggestive of plantation operations during the Early Period.72Antebellum Plantations in Prince George’s County, Maryland
