Henryton is an unincorporated community in Carroll County, Maryland, United States. It is located along the Patapsco River. Although it’s not known for certain, the community was supposedly named after 1800s land owner and farmer Henry DeVries. DeVries was the son of Dutch immigrant Christian DeVries, coming to America in 1802 to work in the Hammond & Pringle paper mill in Elkridge, MD. After his service to the mill was complete, he bought a flour mill from Mr._Miller of Baltimore in 1809 and some surrounding property from John Elder. This mill is visible from the hairpin turn on Marriottsville 2 and the ruins have a cross added to the top. Henry would work in his father’s then turned into paper mill approximately into his early adulthood. After his time working for his father, he created a massive farm that likely spanned the entire southeast side of the mountain Henryton is based on. Multiple ruins of homes, buckets and other miscellaneous hand tools and what appears to be grave markers/barn foundations have been found in this area; including a road that was capable of taking people around the other side of the mountain where the land that is considered Henryton sits. This road is first seen on a District 5 map of Carroll County circa 1862 and is last seen on a US topographic map from the 1960s. However, since the DeVries family had been living in that area since 1809, it’s safe to presume the use of the road started before its first mention on a map. To see this road, if you start at the intersection of Marriottsville Road 2 and Arrington Road, you will see a flat path that looks like it heads up high into the mountain. If you keep traveling south down Marriottsville Road 2, you will the road keeps its course on the edge of the mountain about 60–100 ft above Marriottsville Road 2. Although part of the road was lost to a mining blast in the 1900s, the road continues for a couple hundred feet before curving south and disappearing from view on Marriottsville road 2. This path of the road goes past the ruins of what can only be attributed to a Henry. The property and surrounding structures should definitely be explored by any rural adventurists, due to its sheer size and apparent use of stones to flatten out a section of land. The road essentially ends at the driveway of the current league of Maryland horsemen. Although the sign stated on their gate says no trespassing, the current Carroll county property map shows the road only stays on patapsco state park land. Other ruins follow on this path is where the presumed graveyard ruins were found. Due to the large stones and the relatively equal space they have from each other, it’s common logic to presume that is the function in the area; but the graves of some DeVries can be found at local cemeteries to the area. Potentially it could’ve been the barn of Henry DeVries. In third issue of the book “American Lumberman”, published in the 1930s, pictures of the house and barn of Henry DeVries can be seen. As far as the author is aware, these pictures would not represent the ruins previously found; and separate house-looking ruins have been found in the vicinity of the supposed grave yard. It is unknown to when all these structures became uninhabited and eventual rubble.
