Richard Smith the first Attorney General of Maryland. The name “Small Reward” originates from a bounty offered by Lord Baltimore to Richard Smith to safely relocate settlers of the Colony of Virginia to Maryland. A bounty of 2500 acres was offered for the safe transport to Maryland. While en route to Calvert, two of the settlers died. Richard Smith was granted a “Small Reward” of 550 acres. Small Reward was acquired by the Lawrence family, and it seems probable that the dwelling house at Small Reward was built by George Lawrence circa 1725. It was a one and one-half story log house typical of the period, later it was augmented by a large addition which entailed a center hall and a Federal wing in the 1850s. The house retains the original cypress covering boards, original mantels and flooring, as well as some ancient wooden door locks. Small Reward, now furnished with antiques and family pieces, is an excellent example of the early Calvert County farm house.”This incredible home is located in the sought-after Marley Run community and within close proximity to major commuter routes 4 & 2 as well as local shopping, dining and entertainment.
