Captain Johns Bridge and Potowmack Run Dispute Emerges
Historical court records from Frederick County show a long dispute over the stream and bridge name at Captain Johns Bridge on Potowmack Hundred. Documents trace the 1748 reference to Captain Joho Inn and note a later misreading yielding Calla Joho Bridge, with evidence indicating the original name was Captain John’s Bridge and that the modern form is an error.
