Misc. Notes
Pg 20 Soon after the death of Archibald, Francis Clopper, a tobacco merchant fm Philadelphia, presented a claim that Archibald had sold the property to him, filed suit to obtain the land, and won the case. Until a few years ago, the mansion in which he lived still stood on the property, called the Woodlands, begun as early as 1783, but now gone. It was located near the site of the present Seneca Creek State Park headquarters building on the west side of Clopper Road, near the City of Gaithersburg.7562
