After the colonial war he bought swampland now known as the Inner Harbor of Baltimore where he used a horse drawn dredge to create shipping docks for his flour supplies.[1] The stone home he built in 1789 and lived in for forty years stands by the Patapsco River in Oella, Maryland. It was moved from its original location to higher ground across the street in 1983.[2] In 1799 George traveled to the plains of Sandusky, where the Crawford expedition had met with defeat seventeen years prior. Merchants would conduct a yearly meeting, reporting back to Congress.[3] In 1801, George Ellicott and his brother Elias visited Washington, D.C. with a Native American contingent where he spoke with the Secretary of War and President John Adams where a pledge was made{{By whom|date=September 2014}} to try to stop the distribution of liquor to Native Americans.[4] In 1806, Chief Little Turtle of the Miami people, Chief of the Rusheville people, Beaver Crow of the Delawares, Chiefs of the Shawanese, and the chief Raven of the Potowatomies visited his home while returning from a visit to Washington, D.C.[5] [6]References1. ^{{cite book|title=Jim Clark Soldier Farmer Legislator|page=23|author=James Clark Jr.}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ellicott, Andrew}}{{US-business-bio-1760s-stub}}{{Agri-stub}}2. ^{{cite news|newspaper=The Baltimore Sun|title=Tenants may help preserve historic Ellicott mansion|author=Gunts, Edward|date=23 October 1985}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=A Brief Account of the Settlement of Ellicott's Mills|author1=John Gottlieb Morris |author2=John Hazlehurst Boneval Latrobe |author3=Martha Ellicott Tyson |author4=William McSherry |author5=Andrew White |page=62}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=A Brief Account of the Settlement of Ellicott's Mills|author1=John Gottlieb Morris |author2=John Hazlehurst Boneval Latrobe |author3=Martha Ellicott Tyson |author4=William McSherry |author5=Andrew White |page=60}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=Remembering Ellicott City: Stories from the Patapsco River Valley|author1=Janet P.
