66. Casey's Lessee v. Inloes. 1 Gill 430, 437-442, 493-494 (Md.
1844) . In this instance and many others there are discrepancies
when working with the number in the "ancient metes and bounds". An
original call in the patent for Mountney's Neck in 1663 was for "a
line drawn north-north-east running into the woods, for length,
three hundred and twenty perches. . .". In the 1734 deed from Carroll
to Sligh the overall length of Mountney's Neck unaccountably has
shortened to three hundred perches.

67. Scharf, History, vol. 1, p. 59. Scharf suggests that the
streets were built in the 1760's, but the best evidence is George
Gouldsmith Presbury's "A New and Accurate Map of Baltimore Town"
(1786) [Figure 201 in John W. Reps, Tidewater Towns, (Williamsburg:
The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, 1972) , p. 288] . See Figure 8.

70. Scharf, History, vol. 1, p. 59. The original spelling of
Cambden Street is taken from Presbury, "A New and Accurate Map of
Baltimore Town" (1786) [Figure 201 in Reps, Tidewater Towns, p.
288] . On A.P. Folie's, "Plan of the Town of Baltimore and its
Environs" (1792) [Figure 202 in Reps, Tidewater Towns, p. 291], the
spelling was changed to Cambdon. It has long since been
standardized as Camden.

73. Browne v. Kennedy. 5 H. & J. 195, 196-199 (Md. 1821); Scharf,
History, vol. 1, p. 54. Scharf indicates that the 1759 grantor to
Steiger was Dr. William Taylor. This is assumed to be a mistake
since Browne v. Kennedy, the earlier, more primary source, fixes
ownership in 1757 in Dr. William Lyon, and a search suggests the
non-existence of a Dr. William Taylor.
