McCord’s Ferry Site

When John McCord bought the site from John Joyner in 1766, a public ferry came into operation. McCord’s wife, Sophianisba Russell McCord, was a daughter of Captain Charles Russell. Sophianisba, left at the ferry with her son during the Revolution, instigated and participated in the many troubles that beset the British on their ferry crossings.
