Old White Marsh Episcopal Church

Original structure built before 1690. Early 18th century rector was the Reverend Daniel Maynadier. A later provincial rector (1764–1768), the Reverend Thomas Bacon, compiled “Bacon’s Laws,” authoritative compendium of Colonial Statutes. Thomas John Claggett, first Episcopal Bishop of Maryland officiated here in 1793; Robert Morris, Sr., father of Revolutionary financier is buried here.

Church burned in 1892, was partially restored in 1977.

Marker is at the intersection of U.S. 50 and Manadier Road, on the right when traveling north on U.S. 50.
