Once a leading mill town, now submerged; they left the graves behind

Triadelphia was a mill town in Montgomery County located on the Patuxent River. It was once a leading industrial center. Triadelphia was founded in 1809 by three men: Thomas Moore, Isaac Briggs, and Caleb Bentley. A cotton spinning mill was located on the river. There was also a sawmill, a grist mill, and mill for grinding bone and plaster. A town grew up around those mills.
