Correspondence of Governor Sharpe. 101
 

 

greatest Satisfaction from contributing. Mr Tasker informs me
that He remitted some Months since & hopes you have eer
this received what you were pleased to mention to me in the
Postscript to your last Letter. Affairs on our Frontiers are
just in the same Situation that I described in my Letter of the
15th Inst & I beleive must so remain unless any measures that
may be taken at home shall afford us a better Prospect.
With Duplicates of the Laws enacted at the last Session of
Assembly I have inclosed a Plat of the Mannour called Lady
Baltimores Mannour or Lord Baltimores Gift in Baltimore
County hoping you will be able to find & transmit the Original
Patent which might prevent some Disputes that will very
probably otherwise arise from I doubt an Error of the Clerk
who recorded the Surveyors Certificate of the Limitts of the
Mannour in the Land Office; for in a Deed of Sale to Mr
Brerewood of this Mannour signed by Thomas Brerewood Jun.
& Charlotte Brerewood dated the 31st of August 1731 The
Mannour Bounds are described to be different from those
Specified in the said Surveyors Certificate. I have inclosed a
Platt of the Mannour to shew more clearly in what the
Boundaries differ which is only with respect to one Course
noted in the Platt C. D. described by the Surveyors Return
to extend 420 Perches by Mr Brerewoods Deed only 120
Perches.
Letter Bk. I.

The Mannour has always been deemed & looked upon by
every Body till lately to be limited as it is represented to be by
the dotted red Lines & His Ldp has always received the Rents
from the several Tenants who are setled on the Land marked
A A which is fertil & better than any other Part of the Man-
nour; but some time since the Person whose Tract by Patent
is situate & lies close on that part of the Mannour having
searched the Land Office & found the Surveyors original
Description of the Courses at the time the Mannour was
erected, insists that the Land A A belongs to him & is included
in his Patent, whereupon He has thought proper to enjoin the
several Tenants thereon inhabiting to pay no more Rent for
the Land they cultivate to any Person but himself or his Order.
This being the Case you will be pleased to direct what must
be done in the Affair if the Original patent cannot be found
which would at once remove all foundation of Dispute. I have
at Mr Calverts Sollicitation given him a Letter which I have
taken the liberty to write to his Ldp; declaring myself entirely
ignorant of & unacquainted with any Behaviour or Transac-
tions of his, contrary to his Ldps Interest since my Arrival in
his Ldps Province: which Mr Calvert was apprehensive had
been unfairly represented to his Prejudice, & as there is a very
good understanding between us notwithstanding the Affair I
