==History== According to the 1878 survey of [[Anne Arundel County]] prepared by G. M. Hopkins, Civil Engineer ([[Civil engineer|CE]]) of [[Philadelphia]], the area that is located along the West Branch of the [[Patapsco River]] and is now known as Pumphrey was owned in large part by Charles Pumphrey. Charles Pumphrey was a direct descendant of Walter Pumphrey. Walter was a [[Quaker]] who emigrated from England and arrived in [[Burlington, New Jersey]], on a "boat load of Quakers" in 1678. Walter Pumphrey moved to the [[Baltimore]] area in 1708 to provide carpentry services to the many Quakers in that city. He purchased property throughout northern Anne Arundel County for a source of wood. A section of marshland in the area between what is now [[Linthicum, Maryland|Linthicum]] and Pumphrey was known for some time as "Pumphrey's Swamp."
