STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
Oatland Farm was established by Washington Bowie, a member of a prominent County family. Washington was named after General George Washington, a family friend and a sponsor at Washington Bowie's christening. Bowie grew up in Maryland at "Hermitage , the family estate. He later moved t6 Georgetown where,he spent most of his adult life. He became a successful merchant, dealing in the shipping and export business under the firm name of Bowie & Kurtz. In 1810 the Annapolis Gazette reported (Col.) Washington Bowie to £e one of the wealthiest and most public spirited citizens of Georgetown. In 1820 Washington Bowie
---:r.eturned to Montgomery County, purchasing about 2 ,ooo acres. He2 Jstablished his home on the part of the estate he named Oatland.
Washington died in 1826 and Oatland was transferred to his son Washington II.3 Washington II never ma~ried, and upon his death Oatland passed to his sister Margaret D. Bowie. At that time Oatland consisted of about 500 acres, and contained a stone house as their residence. Not much is known about the house, and the records are unclear as whether Washington (Sr.) built the house or it was situated on the Oatland property when he purchased it.
Margaret Bowie died intestate and the property was transferred by court order to Mary Bowie Chichester, Margaret's sister.5 Mary conveyed
, it to her son, Washington B. Chichester, Sr. by will.6 Chichester is ' believed to have built the existing frame house in 1875.7 He left the
farm to his daughters, Margaret Smith and Harriet Chichester._8 In the . years that followed, the prQperty was repeatedly divided among various
heirs and recombined again,~ but the essential integrity of the estate was preserved. It did not leave the hands of the Chichester family until July 1964, when Robert and Henrietta Chichester conveyed the property to the present owners, Gordon Chandler Keys and his wife, Janice Oxley Keys.
