Fruits of their gardens please Elizabeth Dawson Canby and husband G. Rust at their home Field Head, located where the Christian Heritage Church now stands. In addition to his extensive orchards, Rust Canby was a substantial local land investor.

The lawn of Rose Hill hosts the Canby family c.1892. From left, Laura, who died in her youth, G. Rust, Eliza, mother Sarah Jane (Sally) Rust, and T. Yellott, in a dress. Their companion Miss Omohundro stands at right. Sally's husband William M. may have taken the photo. The back part of Rose Hill dates to about 1800, the front part to 1885. William's father Thomas married Deborah Duvall, whose family owned the Rose Hill farm. Four generations of Canbys and Duvalls served in the Maryland legislature, including Rust and Yellott. The farm included land occupied today by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and nearby Muslim Center.
