Death and Legacy
Henry Harford died in 1835. His estates were left to his oldest surviving son, Frederick Paul Harford.
Henry Harford’s claim to Maryland was exploited for years after his death in 1834. The last major case was the United States Supreme Court case Morris v. United States (174 U.S. 196, 198), in 1899, in which one of Harford’s descendants attempted to claim a part of the Potomac River from the District of Columbia.
Harford County is named in his honor.
