[quote=Anonymous]https://colonial-settlers-md-va.us/getperson.php?personID=I13402&tree=Tree1 The Muncaster family owned at least one slave—see link referencing “negro girl Bess” as property. I only skimmed it and stopped reading after that note. Nonetheless, nobody knows anything about the Muncaster family and the name of the road certainly doesn’t “honor” a specific noteworthy member of the family. Rather, the street name is in reference to the mill by the same name. I bet if you asked MoCo residents who Magruder was or who Muncaster was very few people would know. Norbeck would be a confusing name since the school doesn’t sit on Norbeck Road. Muncaster Mill HS would be fine since it seemingly pays homage to the street and perhaps the mill without referencing a person. What we don’t need are a flurry of new school names honoring random people. Just stick with streets/neighborhoods imho. [/quote]
