There was once a settlement in Talbot County known as Dover on the west side of the Choptank River, facing Caroline County. The seagoing vessels stopped at Oxford to off-load, and then went to Dover for repairs. There, the water was then fresher and saltwater wood-boring seaworm could not survive. The settlement no longer exists. The bridge which crosses the Choptank River at that location is known as Dover Bridge. My point is that you may be in the wrong county.
