*********************************************

The name Thomas Harbin is very familiar to assassination students as a key player in the Confederate underground in Southern Maryland during the war and the man that Dr. Mudd took Booth to meet at Bryantown Tavern in the fall of 1864. Thomas Harbin and Joseph Baden were also of some assistance in the escape of Booth. For a while, Harbin lived in the village of Piscataway in the structure shown here. This old place sits very close to the road and has just been rehabilitated. It's now back to the drawing board after a reckless driver hit it a few days ago. Luckily, it seems that the porch bore the brunt of the force. Courtesy of Rick Smith.
