21. Howard v. Helms, 2 H. & McH. 57, 59, 78 (Md. 1784) . Scharf
records in some detail a prior 1696 patent called "Ely O'Carroll"
which subdivided Cole's Harbour into two 500 acre parcels, and
transferred them to Daniel and Charles Carroll, the sons of Charles
Carroll, the Settler. This account seems garbled in almost all
respects. It involves twice the amount of land originally surveyed
in Cole's Harbour, and the putative grantees were not to be born
until 1702 and 1707 respectively. Moreover, there is no mention of
a patent to Ely O'Carroll in the eighteenth century litigation
concerning title to the Carroll lands in Baltimore. For the time
being it remains an unfollowed false scent. See Scharf, Chronicles,
vol. 1, pp. 14-15, Scharf, History, vol. 1, p. 49.
