About one and one-half miles north of Pikesville lies an estate known as "Grey Rock." It is of interest to us because many years ago "Grey Rock" originally known as "Howard's Square," belonged to Joshua Howard, the grandfather of one who has written Ins name on the pages of our National, State and local history —General John Eager Howard.
Joshua Howard, the first of the name to settle in Maryland, received a tract of land granted by the crown in 1698, under the name of "Howard's Square."
Joshua Howard left his father's house, near Manchester, England, "when very young," without permission and joined the army of the Duke of York (afterward -lames II), during the Duke of Monmouth's rebellion, and then emigrated to America, rather than return home to face his father's displeasure.
He married in this country Joanna 0'Carroll, whose father emigrated from Ireland. Joshua Howard died in 1768, and his son Cornelius "married Ruth Eager and inherited "Howard Square," and his wife was sole heiress of the Eager property in Baltimore Town. Mr. Howard obtained

large tracts of land in the country, consolidating the tracts under a larger grant called "Ros-

Mr. Howard was greatly interested in the growth of Baltimore town, adding to it in 1765 that part south of Saratoga street, between Forest (now Charles st.) and Liberty, including Conway and Barre streets. He also made a survey of the town.
An old diary says that an old house which belonged to him stood opposite Hanover Market and his barns and stables covered the site of the market. When a number of French Canadians found refuge in the town during the French and Indian war, he allowed them to sleep in his barnyard, which they covered with hay and straw.
John Eager Howard, the second son of Cornelius Howard and Ruth Eager, was born June 4, 1752, on the old estate of his grandfather, Joshua.
H^e was a man of few words, and seldom spoke of his family or descent; but he once said to his
own son George that none of the Howard families in Maryland were related to his own. A framed coat-of-arms, painted upon copper, and inscribed, "Howard, Earl of Arundel," hung over the desk in his private office, however, showing that he had some pride of descent.
John Eager Howard had no profession. He adopted that of military life, and when the colonies rebelled against English rule, flying camps of militia were formed in Maryland and he accepted the office of captain in one of these, under Colonel I. Carvel Hall, a commission dependent upon his ability to recruit thirty men. He raised the company in two days and joined the army. He served until the militia was replaced by regular troops which Congress required each State to furnish.
Captain Howard was appointed major in one of the seven Maryland regiments. Two years later he was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel of the Fifth, and finally succeeded in the command of the Second Maryland, Continental Line.
At the battle of Germantown, while major of the Fourth Mary-

land Infantry, he showed the cool courage for which he was ever after distinguished. Colonel Hall was disabled and Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Smith, having been detached to Fort Muffin, the command developed upon Major Howard, and well did he perform his duty. Major Howard is related to have "pursued them through their encampment; passing with . his regiment amidst their tents, and advancing about a quarter of a mile further towards the main body of the British army, where they took position until the unsuccessful attack upon Chew's house caused a retreat,"
Colonel Howard took part in the fight at Monmouth, in 1778, and remained with the army until the Maryland and Delaware troops were sent South to the relief of Charleston, South Carolina.
Before going South, Colonel Howard stopped in Baltimore to

He sold some property and left fifty'"half joes" in the hands of a friend, in case of his being taken prisoner. He. also offered his property near Baltimore, called "Lunn's Lot," for sale, at the sum of $506. The offer was not accepted and Lunn's Lot is now covered by the streets and modern buildings of Baltimore, and the value is reckoned in millions instead of $506. It was during the southern campaign that Col. Howard achieved his greatest success.
During the retreat of the American army at the battle of Camden, Colonel Howard succeeded in keeping a few of his men together, and being joined occasionally by other officers and
