50. The First Records of Baltimore Town, p. 22 indicates that the
bluff overlooking the bend in the Jones Falls was the property of
Alexander Lawson in 1747; documentary evidence in Browne v.
Kennedy. 5 H. & J 195 at 196 shows that Carroll did not transfer
title until 1757. Likewise the First Records Of Baltimore attribute
ownership of the Jones' Town waterfront to Sligh and Sheredine in
1747, while the case of Casey's Lessee v. Inloes, 1 Gill 430, 438-
439 shows the partnership formally taking title in 1750.

Scharf, History, vol. 1, p. 57. Scharf erroneously indicates that
only eighteen acres were purchased by Sligh and Sheredine; the
original documents abstracted in Casey's Lessee v. Inloes show that
the transfer was for what was left of the three hundred acres which
Hurst had acquired from James Todd in 1701. See Figure 3.
