Samuel DeButts was a prominent Washington, D.C. area physician in the early 1800s. He acquired his plantation, Mt. Welby, just south of D.C. along the Potomac River in 1811.[1] Today, Mt. Welby is part of the Oxon Cove and Oxon Hill National Park, and the DeButts home is occupied by the park service as the park's offices.
