  From Flashbacks by Patrick M. Reynolds, Washington Post, 23Jun96. "Richard Marsham owned 1,500 acres in MD during the early 1700's. A descendant of Marsham named Nicholas Queen inherited the property in the early 1800's. By then, it was part of Washington, DC. Mr. Queen ran a hostelry in downtown Washington. His guests included congressmen, ambassadors, and other big-wigs. Queen's daughter, Anne married Jehiel Brooks. After Nicholas died in the 1830's, Anne and Jehiel inherited 150 acres of his estate. The property of Mr. and Mrs. Brooks is now the Washington neighborhood of Brookland."
