Description: |
| Originally named Harper's Ferry, VA after an 18th-century ferry owner, the town lost its apostrophe in 1891. West Virginia separated from Virginia and became a state on June 20, 1863, thus putting Harpers Ferry in West Virginia.
Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2000 of the almost 10000 documents were recovered.
Little is known about this patent. Only the patent drawing is available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
