Legg's Dependence, also known as Long Creek Farm and William E. Porter Farm, is a historic home located at Stevensville, Queen Anne's County, Maryland. It is a -story center-hall plan Flemish bond brick house. It was built in several stages beginning around 1760–80, as a single-story hall/parlor plan dwelling. It was enlarged to its present form during the second quarter of the 19th century.[1]
The estate at one point was home to an enslaved husband and wife, Sling and Sarah Louis, who were sold through a trader in Richmond, Virginia, to the owner of a plantation near Ashbie's Gap in Virginia. One or both of Sling and Sarah's parents later escaped with the help of Harriet Tubman and found their way to Philadelphia.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
