SEE: http://www.churchman.org/Mercer_Brown_House.htm The Mercer Brown/Amassa Churchman house is located on England Dairy Road, Calvert, Cecil County, MD, near the Brick Meeting House. It is built on land which was at the center of a 490 acre lot originally purchased from William Penn by William Brown as a gift for his son, Mercer Brown, Sr. in 1701.

In 1746, Mercer Brown, Jr. and his wife Hannah built the brick portion of the house with help from their neighbors, who carved their initials and names in the brick at one corner of the house.

The log portion of the house dates from the 18th century and was built by Amassa Churchman, who married Mercer Brown, Jr.'s granddaughter.

The house is now owned by Ed Plumstead and has been occupied for 26 years by Todd and Betty Goodale. Together, they have done a magnificent job of restoring and maintaining this wonderful house.

Mordecai James's first wife was Gainor Lloyd. Gainor was born February 5, 1705 and died on September 3, 1728, only 18 months after they were married. Mordecai and Gainor had only one child, Hannah James. (Hannah also married into the Churchman family -- see George Churchman). Mordecai married Dinah on September 4, 1736. Their "residence was four miles south of Oxford and 2 miles northwest from Churchman Mansion near the head of the Dam belonging to the Mill of the Cate D. Stubbs." Mordecai and Dinah were married for 30 years before she died in 1766. Mordecai married a third time to Susanna Passmore on December 31, 1767. Mordecai "was a man of good understanding, useful in Meetings, and in the neighborhood". He "died in a quiet resigned state of mind after three days of severe illness with Colic".
