The mill site is a portion of the Ridgeley's Forest land grant, which Colonel Henry Ridgley, a future justice of the peace for Anne Arundel who came to the colonies in 1659, surveyed on June 3, 1685. Alexander Warfield's (1677–1745) son lived on the farm until passing it on to his cousin Alexander Warfield (of John) (1704–1742). Alexander built a primitive mill beside the river at the falls in 1750 and gave it to his sons Brice Warfield and John Worthington.
