Harry Dorsey Gough
Harry Dorsey Gough (28 January 1745 – 8 May 1808) was a prominent 18th-century merchant, planter, and patron of the fledgling Methodist Church in Baltimore, Maryland, in the early United States.
==Family and estate==
Harry's father was the English merchant Thomas Gough, who immigrated to the United States prior to the outbreak of its Revolution against Britain. As his new home was near Patapsco Ferry and his new wife had extensive holdings in the colonies, Thomas would later side with the revolutionaries against the Crown.〔Williams, T.J.C. & al. ''History of Frederick County, Maryland'', Vol. 1, (pp. 940 ff. ) Regional Publishing Co. (Baltimore), 1967.〕 Thomas had already married the American Sophia Dorsey, who bore him Harry on January 28, 1745, in Annapolis.〔
In addition to his father's wealth, Harry inherited £70,000 at a young age and became a successful merchant.〔Kief, Sean. "(The Historic Perry Hall Mansion )". 2009. Accessed 20 October 2013.〕 The money came from his English half-brother John William Gough (1729–1767), by Thomas Gough's first wife Ann Brooksby. John's year-old son was subsequently brought to America and raised in Maryland. Confusingly, this nephew was also named Harry Dorsey Gough (1766–1807) and his son (1793–1870) would later also bear the same name.
The eldest Harry Dorsey Gough's estate eventually comprised along the Great Gunpowder River northeast of Baltimore.〔Vlach, John. ''The Planter's Prospect: Privilege and Slavery in Plantation Paintings'', (pp. 56 ff. ) UNC Press (Chapel Hill), 2002.〕 Much of this was Corbin Lee's plantation〔Marks, David. ''The Historical Marker Database''. "(Harry Dorsey Gough Marker )" (). 2008. Accessed 20 October 2013.〕 The Adventure, which Gough purchased for £5,000 in 1774〔 from Archibald Buchanan〔Colwill, Stiles T. ''Francis Guy, 1760–1820''. Maryland Historical Society, 1981.〕〔Kief, Sean & al. ''Perry Hall Mansion'', (p. 13 ). Arcadia Publishing, 2013.〕 after Corbin's death in 1773. He renamed it Perry Hall in honor of his family's ancestral home in Staffordshire and completed construction of its 16-room manor in 1776.〔Pfingsten, Bill. ''The Historical Marker Database''. "(Perry Hall Marker )". 2007. Accessed 20 October 2013.〕 Many years later, modern Baltimore's Bel Air Road (U.S. Route 1) was known as "Gough's Road" or "Perry Hall Road".〔
