Beverly (Princess Anne, Maryland)
Beverly is a historic home located at Princess Anne, Somerset County, Maryland, United States. It is a 2 1⁄2-story, Federal-style, Flemish bond brick dwelling measuring 40 feet by 60 feet. It was built by Nehemiah King II between 1785 and 1796. The interior of the house was partially destroyed by fire in 1937 but was restored from plans.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
Napoleon rescue plot
King became a friend of Jérôme Bonaparte through his marriage in 1803 to Betsy Patterson of Baltimore. The home was included in a plot to rescue Napoleon from exile on St. Helena Island, when plans were made for the Emperor to be transported up the Chesapeake Bay and into the Manokin River, where he was to arrive at Beverly through a tunnel leading under the house from the nearby creek. Napoleon died before the rescue was attempted.

Beverly
by: Bobbie GentryBeverly packs her lunch pail silently
In the light of the dawn's gray gloom
In her lonely room
Beverly works all day at the factory
On her feet from five to nine
On the assembly line
Beverly drifts away into a reverie
Dreaming of the girl she used to be
When her heart was alive
And there were nights
When Beverly would go out dancing
The stars lit up the Latin sky
Her eyes would flash, her feet would fly
Across the ballroom floor
En una linda noche nosotros bailamos
Dancamos hasta no ver mas las estrellas
Un gran amor - esto fue el pasado
Beverly goes about her way so quietly
And though she cries a little bit
No one seems to notice it
