Within two years he built a large home here on 250 acres that he called Silver Spring. His son, Montgomery, built the Falkland house here also. A few years later, Elizabeth married Samuel Phillips Lee. During the Civil War, Silver Spring was taken by the Confederate army. Afterward the Falkland home was razed by the fleeing soldiers. When the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was completed here in 1873 it ran from Washingon, D.C. to Point of Rocks and went through Silver Spring. This helped the area to grow and prosper.
