- Peterson mistakenly thought that the list of sales items of Charles
Carnan Ridgely's estate were of Hampton when they were of the Gay Street
Townhouse. See page 68 of Peterson's Report
- Peterson raises the question of whether or not one of the early gardeners,
John
Willis
was an indentured servant. He probably was, according to a manifest
of convict servants purchased by Captain Charles Ridgely in 1775 which
I copied from the Cheston Galloway papers of the Maryland Historical Society
in the 1970s before they were processed and catalogued by the Society.
